A private company whose chief executive is Jim Keller, who previously led chip design at Apple, AMD and Tesla. It positions open designs against Nvidia's closed software ecosystem, selling accelerator chips directly and also licensing its design assets to others. Because it belongs to the camp designing its own silicon, it has a different stake from Nvidia when standards such as memory interfaces are being set.
