HCLTech has formed a strategic partnership with Dolphin Semiconductor to jointly develop energy-efficient chips targeting next-generation IoT devices and power-intensive data center environments. The collaboration brings together HCLTech’s system-on-chip (SoC) architecture and design expertise with Dolphin Semiconductor’s low-power semiconductor IP, aiming to address a growing market need for high performance with reduced energy consumption.
As enterprises scale AI workloads, expand sensor-driven ecosystems and manage rising data volumes, power efficiency has become a defining challenge for chipmakers. By integrating Dolphin’s specialized low-power IP into its silicon design workflows, HCLTech plans to deliver SoCs that offer improved computational performance while significantly lowering power usage across connected and compute-heavy applications.
Pierre-Marie Dell’Accio, Executive VP of Engineering at Dolphin Semiconductor, said the partnership will broaden access to the company’s low-power IP portfolio and accelerate innovation in energy-efficient computing across IoT and data center markets. “This partnership will help us push the boundaries of energy-efficient computing — whether it is for IoT devices or datacenter ecosystems,” he noted.
Hari Sadarahalli, CVP and Head of Engineering and R&D Services at HCLTech, said the collaboration aligns with clients’ increasing focus on sustainability and next-generation compute efficiency. “As AI workloads surge and sustainability becomes a priority, this partnership will empower our clients to lead with agility and high performance,” he said.
