SiPearl

[Event] 🎉 Tape-out celebration at SiPearl on July 10 🥂 After months of hard work by the R&D Hardware and Software teams, not to mention the support teams -IT, Project, Human Resources, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Marketing-Sales, Communication-, we celebrated the tape-out of Rhea1, the first European high-performance energy-efficient #processor for #supercomputing and #AI. It was a great moment in all of #SiPearl's locations in Europe! SiPearl is building European high-performance energy-efficient processors dedicated to #HPC and AI. This new generation of processors first targets EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) ecosystem, which is deploying world-class supercomputing infrastructures in Europe for solving strategic challenges in security, defense, generative AI, medical research, energy management and climate with a reduced environmental footprint. SiPearl is working in close collaboration with its 30 partners from the European Processor Initiative consortium - leading names from the scientific community, supercomputing centers and industry - which are its stakeholders, future clients and end-users. Seed funded by the European Union, the company employs 200 people. Currently in production at TSMC in Taïwan, Rhea1, its first family of processors, will be available in early 2026. It will equip the CPU cluster of #JUPITER, the first European exascale supercomputer which is owned by EuroHPC and operated by Forschungszentrum Jülich.

SIPEARL : les processeurs haute performance français SiPearl lance sa production de puces chez TSMC 👉🏻 la société conçoit le microprocesseur en France 👉🏻 1ère chip en 6 nano, la seconde en 3 👉🏻 levée de fonds auprès de Cathay Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. / Cathay Ventures, LLC pour 130 M€ "On intègre quatre fois plus de mémoire que dans un ordinateur portable classique. Cela sert à beaucoup de choses : calculs météo, biologiques, ou modélisation du corps humain." 60 milliards de transistors et 64 Gigabytes de mémoire. Ce sont les produits de Sipearl qui peuvent répondre en temps réel aux prompts de l'IA via ChatGPT NVIDIA est sur de l'accélération, très bon en training, Sipearl est côté #CPU, microprocesseur, calcul scientifique de haute précision et inférences. Les concurrents directs sont Intel Corporation et AMD Véritable enjeu de souveraineté en particulier pour le #cloud sauf que le matériel reste essentiellement taïwanais ou américain.

[Event] Friday 4th, in Rome SiPearl's CEO Philippe Notton, CEO-Founder of SiPearl, shared his vision for the future of European Deeptechs to strive at the 8th France-Italy Innovation Forum organized by IREFI - Institut pour les Relations Economiques France-Italie in the magnificent Palazzo Farnese, home of the French Embassy.   In the context of the Quirinale treaty, Italy and France work hand in hand to promote and finance innovation both bilaterally and within the European institutions. As a company who is present in both countries, #SiPearl welcomes bilateral initiatives that support a common industrial policy and encourage common investments in critical technologies, and we were honored to provide our contribution on the discussion.   We thank Ambassador Martin Briens for his hospitality, Paolo Casalino  and Frédéric KAPLAN for their shared ambition and Fabrizio Maria Romano and Leonardo Mauretti for the excellent organization and high quality of the debate. Born inside the European Processor Initiative consortium, #SiPearl is building high-performance energy-efficient processors for #supercomputing and #AI. The company will equip the CPU cluster of JUPITER with its first generation processor, #Rhea1.

📰 POLITICO highlights it today: Scaleway is entering the race to host one of the EU’s AI giga-factories with AION, a bold and sovereign proposal to deploy over 288,000 GPUs and 200MW of AI compute capacity.   ⚙️ With experience running France’s first private AI cluster (5,000 GPUs since 2023) and the support of the iliad Group, AION embodies our vision: ambitious, sovereign, and open — relying on trusted partners like GENCI, Inria, Kyutai, VSORA, Sopra Steria, SiPearl, Artefact, Eviden Bull, ZML, Hugging Face et H Company.   💬 > “This is a decisive time for our continent, and we call on all AI tech leaders in France and Europe to join us on this project.” says Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway.   🌍 AION is more than infrastructure — it’s a call to build Europe’s AI future, together as Europeans!

🤝 [Partnership] The SiPearl team is eager to take part in the #AION consortium led by Scaleway aiming to build the most advanced infrastructure and platform to drive the European #AI ecosystem. It is a major response to the call launched by the European Commission and EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) to stakeholders to express their interest in contributing to the future development of sovereign AI #gigafactories. Artefact, Eviden, GENCI, H Company, Inria, Kyutai, Sopra Steria, VSORA, ZML and, of course, #Scaleway (the iliad Group's cloud services subsidiary) are our partners in this powerful initiative. Born inside the European Processor Initiative, #SiPearl is the company building high-performance energy-efficient European #processors for #supercomputing and AI.

🔵 What if Europe lost control over the chips that power its future? In the second part of my conversation with Philippe Notton, CEO of SiPearl, we dig into what’s really at stake when we outsource our most strategic technologies. If we don’t control our processors, we don’t control our future. It’s that simple. We talk about: → Why chip sovereignty is a matter of national security, not just industry → The real cost of Europe falling behind in the global semiconductor race → How SiPearl is building processors for supercomputing, AI, and defense—right here in Europe → And what it takes to catch up without compromise This isn’t just about innovation. It’s about independence, resilience, and power.
