The Technology

The P3DX Engine

Traditional AI chips are limited by heat and resistance. Our P3DX engine uses photonics to perform high-dimensional matrix multiplications with near-zero heat dissipation.

  • Speed-of-Light Compute

    Zero-latency signal propagation across the die.

  • Hybrid Integration

    Seamlessly compatible with existing CMOS manufacturing.

  • Prototype 3.5 Ready

    Moving from 2.5D validation to 3.5D photonic stacking.
