Enfabrica’s ACF SuperNIC:
The AI SuperNIC has emerged as a high-growth silicon product category to logically interconnect GPUs and accelerators across a high-performance scale-out network in an AI data center. Enfabrica’s ACF solution delivers multi-port 800-Gigabit-Ethernet connectivity to GPU servers, and four times the bandwidth and multipath resiliency of any other GPU-attached network interface controller (NIC) product in the industry. Enfabrica is the first in the industry to build a grounds-up SuperNIC chip delivering the highest performance, resiliency, and efficiency of data movement demanded by large-scale training, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads associated with frontier AI models.
