The oppor­tu­ni­ty in front of NUVIA has never been brigh­ter, with an indus­try that’s loo­king for a new way to get the per­for­mance nee­ded to power the next gene­ra­ti­on of cloud and enter­pri­se com­pu­ting,” said Gerard Wil­liams III, CEO, NUVIA. “We’re very for­t­u­na­te to have an incre­di­ble group of inves­tors behind us as we clo­se Series B and take the next steps in our visi­on to rede­fi­ne per­for­mance, ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy, sca­la­bi­li­ty, com­pu­te den­si­ty and total cost of owner­ship within the data center.”

NUVIA is buil­ding a lea­ding-edge SoC and CPU core, code­na­med “Ori­on” and “Phoe­nix,” that are desi­gned to deli­ver indus­try lea­ding per­for­mance on real cloud workloads.
