Revolutionizing HPC-AI datacenters
  • High performance

  • High precision

  • Low power

  • Versatility

  • Open software ecosystem

Thunderbird is revolutionizing HPC-AI datacenters with its remarkable ability to significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional x86 CPU and GPU accelerator solutions, effectively simplifying both cost and complexity.

This innovative “supercomputer-cluster-on-a-chip” boasts unparalleled compute density while minimizing power and cooling demands. As a result, it not only cuts costs and reduces carbon footprints but also allows existing datacenters to be upgraded instead of necessitating the construction of entirely new facilities.

Significant datacenter TCO savings and carbon footprint reduction

One Thunderbird board has more CPU cores than an entire rack of standard Intel or AMD servers!

  • Lower cost: less real estate, servers, networking, power, cooling
  • Less complexity, interconnects, points of failure

Thunderbird has >20X CPU cores vs. Intel or AMD server chips

  • Intel and AMD CPUs: Up to 256 general purpose x86 cores per server board
  • Thunderbird: 6,144 high-performance / low-power RISC-V cores per add-in board (all 64-bit)
