Commenting on recent developments, CEO Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “With the purchase of two additional sites within 30 miles of ChiP Fab-1 in Andover, we will be able to provide a nearly 5X increase in capacity from 3 Fabs, relative to Fab-1. Capacity expansion is necessary in view of demand and industry trends.

Open Compute confirmed the challenges of VRs and IVRs. In addition to infringing patents to 1st GEN VPD, VRs and IVRs face electrical, mechanical and thermal barriers to escalating AI processor requirements. In private presentations and lab sessions with OEMs and Hyperscalers, we demonstrated the distinct advantages of Vicor’s 2nd GEN VPD. Participants paid attention, providing positive feedback and interest in engaging. The stage is set for broader adoption of high performance ALL-FPA current multiplier modules which enable 2nd GEN VPD.

On the licensing front, we granted our first VPD license to an AI OEM at Stage-2 unit royalty rates. Unlicensed OEMs and Hyperscalers may not have realized the implications of importing, or planning to import, computing systems infringing Vicor patents to VPD. The ITC decision to institute an investigation into VPD infringement is catching their attention, prompting inquiries about licenses at royalty rates that strongly favor early adopters.”
