Korean chip designer DeepX will showcase AI silicon that contains heat so well that even a stick of butter doesn't melt on it at the upcoming SEDEX semiconductor exhibition that kicks off on Oct. 23.
The chip company, which specializes on on-device silicon, will demonstrate the so-called butter benchmark for its DX-M1 product at the exhibition. Clients can see for themselves whether a pack of butter melts on it or not, the company said.
“The butter heating test is to show DeepX's cutting-edge, low-power technology,” the company said in a release.
The DX-M1 is an on-device AI neural processing unit (NPU) that DeepX plans to ship to clients in the first half of next year. They will be made on Samsung Electronics' 5-nanometer nodes.
DeepX, founded by former Apple engineer Kim Lo-kwon, possesses some 71 patents registered at home and abroad. It recently raised $80 million in Series C funding, despite unfavorable market conditions, bringing its valuation to $529 million.
SEDEX runs through Oct. 25 at Coex in southern Seoul.
