Next-gen synthetic diamond cooling tech for chips could secure CHIPS Act backing | Claims of 10-20°C GPU temp drops and 40% less energy use
This is just an initial agreement and not a done deal, but it marks an important first step. According to Akash, the money would go toward ramping...
The company hasn't shared a lot of details, but the gist seems to be they are fusing synthetic diamond with materials like gallium nitride to create diamond-based semiconductor wafers and packages. It comes at an opportune time too – CEO Felix Ejeckam told Axios that VC firms have been reluctant to back semiconductor startups, a problem the pandemic helped expose with its chip shortages. Earlier this month, researchers from the University of Texas unveiled a new thermal interface material that outperformed the best commercial liquid metal cooling products by a staggering 56-72%.
