Sandra Rivera, Chair of VSORA, joined Bloomberg’s The Close in July for an interview on the current state of AI. What follows is a summary of that conversation.
When a Silicon Valley veteran who once ran Intel’s Data Center and AI Group, and now chairs a French inference-chip challenger, sits down with a tech journalist from Bloomberg,… Read More
How VSORA rebalances memory and compute for AI inference in the data center and at the edge
For more than a decade, the AI hardware industry focused mainly on model training, while inference represented a smaller share of overall demand. That balance is changing as trained models are deployed widely in recommendation engines, … Read More
One Year Later — September 2026
When this piece first ran a year ago, VSORA was the quiet outsider, a company with a bold architecture and no Silicon Valley address. One year on, the thesis has held up better than even its author expected. In January 2026, Sandra Rivera, former CEO of Altera and, before that, a two-decade Intel veteran… Read More
Instead of tweaking existing designs, VSORA built an AI chip from scratch to fix the real bottleneck: moving data fast enough to keep the math circuits busy.
There’s a version of the AI hardware story that everyone in the chip industry has heard a hundred times. A startup raises money on a clever chip design, promises to topple… Read More
A recent analysis highlighted by MIT Technology Review puts the energy cost of generative AI into stark perspective. Generating a simple text response from Llama 3.1-405B—a model with 405 billion parameters, the adjustable “knobs” that enable prediction—requires on average 3,353 joules, nearly 1 watt-hour (Wh). Once cooling… Read More
Sandra Rivera, a Silicon Valley veteran who is the former CEO of Altera, an Intel FPGA spinout, and long-time Intel executive, recently became Chair of the Board of Directors of Paris-based VSORA. VSORA, a technology leader redefining AI inference for next-generation data centers, cloud infrastructure and edge, is focused … Read More
VSORA, a pioneering high-tech company, has engineered a novel architecture designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of AI inference—both in datacenters and at the edge. With near-theoretical performance in latency, throughput, and energy efficiency, VSORA’s architecture breaks away from legacy designs optimized… Read More
VSORA AI Processor Raises $46 Million to Fast-Track Silicon Development
We stand on the cusp of an era defined by ubiquitous intelligence—a stone’s throw from a tidal wave of AI-powered products underpinned by next-generation silicon. Realizing that future demands nothing less than a fundamental rethink of how we design semiconductors… Read More
Khaled Maalej is founder and CEO of VSORA, a provider of high-performance silicon chips for GenerativeAI and L4/L5 autonomous driving (AD) applications based in France. Before founding VSORA in 2015, Maalej was CTO at DiBcom, a fabless semiconductor company that designed chipsets for low-power mobile TV and radio reception… Read More
Dan is joined by Jan Pantzar vice president of sales and marketing at VSORA, a provider of high-performance generative AI and ADAS chip solutions based in France. Mr. Pantzar gained extensive experience in the semiconductor, IP and software industries through building and managing organizations around the globe. Previous … Read More
