NextSilicon Inc. (Hebrew: נקסט סיליקון בע"מ) is an Israeli startup company that develops acceleration chips for supercomputers.
History
NextSilicon was founded in August 2017 by Elad Raz (CEO), Eyal Nagar (EVP R&D), and Ilan Tayari (VP Architecture). The company focuses on developing chips for supercomputers.
The company’s headquarters are located in Giv'atayim, Israel. Additional offices are located in Haifa (Israel), Serbia, Germany, Switzerland, Czechia, India, and Minnesota (USA). As of 2026, the company employed approximately 350 people.
In 2022, the company announced its first chip, Maverick-1.
In October 2024, the company introduced a new chip, Maverick-2, designed to accelerate HPC & AI workloads using a reconfigurable dataflow architecture named Intelligent Compute Architecture. The chip is manufactured for the company by the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC using a 5-nanometer architecture.
In October 2025, the company unveiled Arbel - an enterprise-grade, high-performance RISC-V core designed to challenge Intel and AMD in HPC and AI workloads. Built on TSMC's 5nm process, this 10-wide CPU features a 2.5 GHz, 480-entry reorder buffer for intensive parallel processing.
Since its founding through October 2024, the company has raised $303 million in funding. The most recent funding round valued the company at $1.6 billion.
