AMD says aerospace players, including SpaceX’s Starlink, are using its Versal custom chips.
AMD chips are now powering the newest Starlink satellites to deliver connectivity from space.
As The Verge first reported, AMD touted the development in a Wednesday earnings presentation, saying aerospace players, including SpaceX, are buying AMD’s Versal custom chips.
“Our Versal portfolio is also being adopted broadly across multiple aerospace customers”, AMD CEO Lisa Su said during the earnings call. “As one example, SpaceX recently launched their latest generation broadband satellites powered by Versal AI Core adaptive SoCs.”
The company didn’t provide more details. But the Versal AI Core chips can be customized to fit a client’s needs to deliver both “breakthrough” AI performance and wireless acceleration, according to AMD.
