Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Terms of the deal
Navitas is offering to purchase Claros for up to $232.8 million, with $216 million paid at closing in cash and stock, and the remainder paid if certain business milestones are achieved.
Breaking through the power wall
The most advanced AI chips are so powerful that traditional energy delivery systems can't keep up. These ultra-high-performance chips require massive amounts of electricity and near-instant response times.
"The future of AI depends on delivering thousands of amps to increasingly power-hungry processors with unprecedented speed and precision," Navitas CEO Chris Allexandre said.
Claros stacks multiple power technologies into a single, compact package and places it closer to AI chips. In turn, the power they require needs to travel only millimeters instead of inches.
That might not sound like much of a difference, but it's enough to slash response times and heat production, while boosting efficiency and power density, thereby significantly reducing the costs of operating an AI data center.
Navitas estimates that acquiring Claros will more than double its addressable market to over $8 billion. The deal is projected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approval.
