Oxmiq, an AI startup developing integrated GPU, CPU, and tensor engine IP blocks, secured $35 million in funding led by Samsung Catalyst Fund and Fudomo.

The company plans to use the capital to advance its chip design architecture, which combines multiple processing components into licensable intellectual property. Oxmiq's approach targets the growing demand for efficient AI processors by consolidating traditionally separate computing elements into a single unified design. This strategy could simplify chip development for manufacturers seeking to optimize performance across diverse workloads. Samsung Catalyst Fund and Fudomo's backing signals institutional confidence in Oxmiq's technical approach. Samsung, a major semiconductor manufacturer, has strategic interest in next-generation chip architectures. The funding comes as competition intensifies in AI processor design, with companies like Nvidia, AMD, and emerging startups racing to develop specialized hardware for machine learning applications.
