Europe’s exascale ambition approaches: SiPearl develops Rhea1 processor

Accelerating the Euro Tech Journey with SiPearl

Sketching Out Rhea1

Euro chip manufacturer SiPearl has officially taped out its Rhea1 processor intended for Jupiter, the first European exascale supercomputer. Indeed, they’ve accomplished it just in time as their Series A funding round wraps up with an influx of cash from a new backer.

To the Chip Sorcerers at TSMC

The design has been dispatched to the tech sorcerers at TSMC. They are the ones who transform these boldly scrawled visions into silicon actuality, and our Euro pals are counting on it being ready by 2026. Let’s hope it doesn’t end up like my gym shoes – vanished forever!

Fresh Funds in Hand

With a neat €130M from the fundraising round, SiPearl appears positioned to take on the silicon landscape. Perhaps now they can splurge on a few pints and a curry to commemorate, right?

A Cheeky Recap You Didn’t Know You Needed

Thus, the Euro team is a step nearer to their exascale aspirations with the Rhea1 chip for the Jupiter supercomputer. We’ll see if it ends up exclaiming “Howay man!” or simply fades away by 2026.
