AMD buys silicon photonics startup Enosemi to fuel its AI ambitions

AMD has acquired Enosemi, a startup designing custom materials to support silicon photonics product development.

In full analysis of a possible integration with Indra, the Spanish company Defense Escribano Mechanical and Engineering (EMandE Group) continues to support the pillars of its...

Enosemi is not unknown to AMD, although perhaps she is unknown to many of you. To contextualize, until now, she had only been an external development partner in the area of photonics with the reds, but with this integration she becomes an active part of the internal gear. The team, based in Silicon Valley, is composed of highly qualified profiles, many with doctorates, and has a trajectory that shows that not only do they dominate the theory, bu…

AMD buys Enosemi for silicon photonics boost

AMD has acquired US silicon photonics startup Emosemi to boost its AI datacentre chip interconnect capability. Nvidia last month highlighted the importance of integrating silicon photonics with GPUs for high speed datacentre interconnect. Enosemi has developed 1.6 terabit/s photonic chiplets and design IP that incorporates the key high-speed analog and photonic components needed for AI […] The post AMD buys Enosemi for silicon photonics boost ap…

AMD has acquired Enosemi to boost its AI optics technology

AMD acquired Enosemi, a silicon photonics startup, on Wednesday for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to bolster AMD’s co-packaged optics innovation for AI systems, according to the company. Silicon photonics utilizes photons for data transmission, which AMD views as a faster alternative to traditional electrical methods. In late 2024, AMD reportedly collaborated with Taiwanese startups on silicon photonics R&D. Brian Amick, SVP of tec…
