There’s a new challenger to Nvidia that says its chip can run AI inference at ten times the speed of a standalone GPU. The new chip from D-Matrix is called Corsair, and it’s now in volume production with commitments from hyperscalers, neoclouds and frontier AI labs. In an exclusive interview with CNBC, CEO Sid Shath explains how Corsair bypasses the DRAM shortage by relying on SRAM directly on the chip, and how that tight integration means Corsair can transfer data using five times less energy. It’s a novel approach to memory that’s led to huge gains for other chip startups in recent months. Cerebras’ blockbuster $95 billion IPO in May landed it among tech’s largest ever debuts, and Groq received $20 billion from Nvidia in the AI giant’s largest purchase ever in December. Now CNBC asks whether D-Matrix could be next.
