Major companies operating in the semiconductor chip ecosystem market are developing advanced microchips to support next-generation technologies in consumer electronics and other industries. A microchip, or microprocessor chip, is a compact semiconductor device that contains electronic circuits on a small silicon wafer. These circuits perform functions such as data processing, information storage, and controlling other electronic components. For example, in December 2024, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory, introduced “El Capitan,” an HPE Cray EX supercomputer powered by AMD Instinct MI300A APUs - devices that integrate CPU, GPU, and HBM into a single package. LLNL reports that the system delivers unified 128 GB HBM3 memory per socket, 3D chiplet integration, and a verified performance of 1.742 exaFLOPS, with peak performance reaching 2.79 exaFLOPS and approximately 35 MW peak power consumption. These features demonstrate how chiplet-based APUs enhance compute density and energy efficiency for AI-HPC convergence in large-scale production systems.
