Q2-2025-Waverider Pulse AI Platform Special

Throughout the past quarter century, improvements in compute have outpaced those of interconnect and memory. In this newsletter, we examine how this is being addressed and look at advances in interconnect ICs and chiplets for use in AI data centers.

Analysis: Enacting Multi-Vendor Chiplet Interoperability

With compute improvements advancing far quicker than interconnect, and the reticle size limits reached, UCIe chiplets play a pivotal role in future AI developments.  Read about the identified challenges and lessons learned from Intel and Alphawave Semi’s joint simulations.

 

News: Alphawave Semi Launches Foundational AI Platform

This platform underpins future AI deployments and includes ready-to-integrate subsystem IP for 64G UCIe, 224G SerDes, 800G/1.6T UALink and UEC, plus reference chiplet architecture designs.

 

 

Breakdown: Real-World Applications of the AlphaCHIP1600-IO Chiplet

The AlphaCHIP1600-IO is a high-bandwidth, low-latency, power-efficient connectivity chiplet. It integrates the UCIe™ standard alongside support for PCIe® 6.0, CXL® 3.1, and 800G Ethernet protocol.
