Description

How do you build Europe's first sovereign high-performance processor from scratch? What does it take to challenge Intel and AMD with just 200 engineers and €150 million?

In this comprehensive episode of Opening Voices, I sit down with Philippe Notton (CEO) and Craig Prunty (VP) from SiPearl to explore Europe's most ambitious semiconductor project:

🔹 How 200 engineers across 5 R&D sites design a 60 billion gate processor

🔹 Why ARM is becoming the new battlefield for server processors

🔹 The €20 million data center built to emulate Europe's most complex chip

🔹 How hyperscalers like Amazon and Google are driving the custom silicon revolution

🔹 Why AI inference on CPUs can be 70x more energy efficient than GPUs

🔹 The chiplet revolution and Europe's opportunity in post-Moore's Law era

We dive deep into the technical challenges, market dynamics, and geopolitical implications of building sovereign computing infrastructure in Europe.
