Singapore Chip Startup Silicon Box Raises $200M to Lead Next Wave of AI Semiconductors with “Chiplets” Approach
- Singapore-based startup Silicon Box raised $200M to make semiconductor "chiplets" which pack smaller chips together to create faster AI chips
- The startup was cofounded by billionaire couple Sehat Sutardja and Weili Dai who previously started Nasdaq-listed Marvell Technology
- Chiplets are gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional chips which are getting harder and more expensive to make smaller
- Silicon Box aims to be the #1 global leader in chiplets and has started a $2B manufacturing facility in Singapore
- Industry giants like AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have started adopting chiplets though there are technical challenges around heat and scaling
