HCLTech partners with Dolphin Semiconductor to co-develop energy-efficient chips

Bengaluru: IT services firm HCLTech has partnered with Semiconductor IP solutions provider Dolphin Semiconductor to co-develop energy-efficient chips. HCLTech will embed Dolphin’s specialised low-power IP into its silicon design workflows. This integration will deliver scalable, high-efficiency SoCs (system-on-chip) that reduce energy consumption, while maintaining robust computational capabilities across diverse workloads, the IT firm said.

“By partnering with HCLTech, we will be able to extend the reach of our low-power IP to more applications and customers than ever before. This partnership will help us push the boundaries of energy-efficient computing — whether it is for IoT devices or datacentre ecosystems,” said Dolphin Semiconductor EVP of Engineering Pierre-Marie Dell’Accio.

“As AI workloads surge, data grows exponentially, and sustainability becomes a top priority. Our collaboration with Dolphin Semiconductor will empower our clients to lead with agility, high performance and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility,” HCLTech CVP and Head of Engineering and R&D Services Hari Sadarahalli said.

Both companies will help enterprises address growing demands for energy efficiency and high performance in increasingly complex and connected environments.  

Tata and Intel partner 

Tata Group and Intel Corporation will explore a collaboration focused on consumer and enterprise hardware enablement, and semiconductor and systems manufacturing to support the country's domestic semiconductor ecosystem. This marks a pivotal step towards developing an India-based geo-resilient electronics and semiconductor supply chain, Tata Group said.

As part of the MoU, Intel and Tata intend to explore manufacturing and packaging of Intel products for local markets at Tata Electronics’ upcoming Fab and OSAT facilities, as well as a collaboration for advanced packaging in India.
