Startup NeoLogic is developing innovative AI CPUs aimed at reducing energy consumption amidst the global demand for computational power.
AI CPUs: Challenging Traditions in Chip Design
Avi Messika, CEO of NeoLogic, and Ziv Leshem, CTO, started their work on developing more energy-efficient AI CPUs amidst skepticism from the industry. With over 50 years of combined experience in the semiconductor industry, they believe that traditional chip design methods have reached their limits. NeoLogic is designing processors that utilize simplified logic, allowing for a significant reduction in power consumption.
Sustainable Approach to Growing Power Demand
Experts note that the current AI boom threatens global energy resources. Power consumption in data centers is projected to double in the next four years. Messika emphasizes: 'It affects the construction costs; you can shave off roughly 30% of the costs.' Reducing power consumption matters not just for the economy but for sustainable development.
Semiconductor Innovations: Beyond Moore’s Law
Moore’s Law, which predicted the doubling of transistors on microchips every two years, has lost its relevance. NeoLogic offers solutions through architectural simplification and intelligent circuit design. The startup is already collaborating with several hyperscalers and plans to release a test chip by the end of the year.
NeoLogic's new CPUs promise not only to lower energy costs but also to support a transition to a more sustainable infrastructure, which is critical amid rising demand for AI solutions.
