(Unveils) 2nm HPC platform ‘ADP620’… Arm·Rebellion and Samsung Electronics co-developed ‘AI CPU chiplet platform’
ADTechnology announced that it will provide an innovative chiplet platform to support the development of AI (artificial intelligence) and HPC (high-performance computing) semiconductors. In addition, the company has started developing chips using the 2nm process-based HPC platform ‘ADP620’.
On November 1, Park Jun-Kyu, the CEO of ADTechnology said this in a keynote speech titled ‘Arm Tech Symposia’ held at the Grand Hyatt in Seoul. On this day, CEO Park presented ‘Accelerating Innovation Wiz Eighty D Technology &Arm: AI· Accelerating Innovation with ADTechnology & Arm: HPC/AI, Chiplets, and Beyond.”
CEO Park stated, “In order to create enhanced AI solutions, chiplet technology is the answer, in addition to continuously upgrading accelerators and CPUs for machine learning.” He explained, “There is power loss that occurs between chips when they are connected, and chiplets can improve this.” He continued, “By efficiently combining high-performance and low-power components, we can reduce overall manufacturing costs. Additionally, we can selectively combine various chips based on desired functions, enabling the development of customized solutions.”
Chiplet technology is an advanced packaging method that combines different semiconductor functions into a single chip, reducing design and manufacturing costs while increasing productivity.
According to Gartner, the AI semiconductor market is expected to grow from $53 billion in 2023 to $159 billion by 2028, at an average annual growth rate of 24.3%. The chiplet market, meanwhile, is projected to explode, growing from $6.5 billion in 2023 to $148 billion by 2028, with an average annual growth rate of 80%.
ADTechnology, which had signed a semiconductor IP licensing agreement with Arm last year for Neoverse CSS, has been recognized for its chiplet design capabilities.
The company is participating in the development of the ‘AI CPU Chiplet Platform’ with partners such as Rebellion, Samsung Electronics, and Arm. ADTechnology will design a CPU chiplet based on Arm’s Neoverse Computing Subsystem (CSS) V3 and integrate it with Rebellion’s AI accelerator, ‘REBEL.’ These chiplets will be manufactured using Samsung Electronics’ advanced 2nm process technology. ADTechnology is targeting the HPC, edge server, and AI markets with its ‘ADP’ 6-series platform. At the event, CEO Park introduced the ADP600 and ADP620 platforms.

The ADP600 is based on the 14nm process and targets the DPU and Smart NIC markets, while the ADP620, based on the cutting-edge 2nm process, is aimed at the HPC and AI cloud platform markets.
CEO Park stated, “The ADP600 is based on the Arm Neoverse N2 core, while the ADP620 is built on the Neoverse V3 core. The ADP620 is currently receiving RT and is actively working on it, and I will be able to share more specific details in next year’s session.” Samsung Foundry plans to start mass production of 2-nanometer process semiconductors next year.
He further mentioned, “Through chiplet technology, we can expand not only AI data center products but also high-performance networking products. We will competitively develop foundation libraries and memory to enhance the computing capabilities of chiplet solutions and add competitiveness to our customers’ silicon.”
