Funding Underscores Growing Momentum for Point2's Pioneering e‑Tube Technology Platform as the Interconnect Foundation for Future AI Data Center InfrastructureSAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Point2 Technology, a developer of RF-based interconnect solutions for AI data center infrastructure, today announced an extension of its Series B round led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from NVentures (NVIDIA's venture capital arm) and UMC Capital, bringing total Series B funding to $76 million.
The funding will accelerate Point2's path to market, supporting the development and deployment of its Active RF Cable (ARC) platform, as well as future near-package (NPE) and co-packaged e-Tube™ (CPE) solutions for next-generation rack-scale compute systems. The company is expanding its engineering and systems teams as it moves toward productization and deployment.
As hyperscalers deploy larger and more tightly coupled XPU clusters, interconnect—not compute—is emerging as a primary system bottleneck. Co...

As 2D NAND fades, UMC faces steep hurdles to enter a shrinking market (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The global retreat from 2D NAND flash production is no longer a possibility but an emerging certainty. As major memory makers exit the segment, tightening supply has driven a sharp surge in prices for low-capacity chips. Recent market chatter suggests that United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) could receive foundry orders for SLC and MLC flash, a move that, if realized, might disrupt what is shaping up to be an increasingly concentrated supply landscape....
