Global Unichip Corp. (GUC), the Advanced ASIC Leader, will showcase Jotunn8, a next-generation data center AI inference processor developed by VSORA, at the TSMC Europe Technology Symposium.
This exhibition highlights the successful collaboration between GUC and VSORA, combining advanced AI architecture with leading-edge ASIC implementation and packaging technologies to deliver a high-performance, scalable inference solution for data center workloads.
Enabling advanced AI inference through close collaboration
Jotunn8 is VSORA's flagship AI inference processor, purpose-built for inference workloads. It delivers ultra-low latency and very high throughput by addressing the memory wall bottleneck, enabling cost-efficient deployment of large-scale AI models.
GUC provided comprehensive turnkey ASIC services for Jotunn8, managing the full implementation
from netlist to manufacturing. The project demonstrates GUC's expertise in complex system integration, including: Advanced chiplet architecture design and integration, High-bandwidth memory integration with HBM3E PHY and controller, 2.5D die-to-die connectivity using GUC's 17.2 Gbps GLink-2.5D interconnect, Advanced packaging implementation leveraging TSMC CoWoSR-S technology (3x reticle size), Implementation on TSMC's 5nm process node,Full-system co- optimization of signal, power, and thermal integrity (SI/PI/TI), Power and IR optimization to enhance overall system efficiency.
This collaboration underscores GUC's capability to deliver complex AI and HPC ASICs with optimized performance, power, and scalability.
Leveraging a strong ecosystem with TSMC
Jotunn8 also reflects the strength of GUC's long-standing collaboration with TSMC. As a key partner in TSMC Open Innovation PlatformR (OIP) ecosystem, GUC enables customers to efficiently adopt advanced process nodes and packaging technologies, bridging innovative architectures with leading-edge manufacturing.
By leveraging TSMC's advanced CoWoSR packaging and 5nm process technologies, GUC ensures
high-quality silicon execution and a reliable path to production for demanding AI applications.
"We are proud to showcase Jotunn8 at the TSMC Europe Technology Symposium. This achievement highlights our strong collaboration with VSORA and demonstrates GUC's ability to bring complex AI processors to silicon using advanced process and packaging technologies," — said Patrick Wang, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at GUC.
"Jotunn8 is designed to unlock a new level of efficiency and scalability for AI inference. Our collaboration with GUC has been key in successfully translating this architecture into a highperformance silicon solution,"— said Khaled Maalej CEO of VSORA.
Driving next-generation data center AI
Through this collaboration, GUC and VSORA address the growing demand for high-performance,
energy-efficient AI inference in hyperscale data centers. Jotunn8 enables new levels of throughput and latency optimization, supporting large-scale AI deployment across cloud and enterprise environments.
