Computing & Connectivity Explorations
Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVR)
An Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) is vital for energy-efficient AI computing, replacing bulky PMIC solutions with a tiny, high-performance chip. This technology addresses the exploding power demand of AI data centers by providing over 95% efficiency and faster response, often placed close to the compute. The IVR market is projected to reach $11 billion by 2030.
Edge AI
The Edge AI market presents a significant opportunity, with an estimated value over $20 billion and a projected growth of 20% CAGR into the 2030s. This growth is driven by the demand for low-latency, local AI and is supported by new hardware and AI models. The fragmented landscape creates a chance for startups to gain a foothold.
Data Center Energy Infrastructure
The power demands of AI are creating a significant bottleneck for data centers. This exploration focuses on the multi-billion dollar market for energy infrastructure. The goal is to identify startups innovating in areas like microgrids and advanced conductors to solve the “time to power” issue and meet the urgent energy needs of AI workloads.
