Breakthrough Performance

We're building the world's highest-performing application processors to eliminate CPU bottlenecks in AI, cloud, and edge computing. Our innovations deliver breakthrough performance that sets new industry benchmarks.

Built for Modern Workloads

General-purpose processors handle critical tasks throughout AI operations. Our 64-bit CPU architecture is engineered for emerging compute intensive workloads while maintaining exceptional efficiency across server, client, mobile, and edge applications.

A Revolutionary Vision

Founded by former Intel CPU architects with over 100 years of combined experience. We've delivered processors used by billions worldwide—now we're building the fastest CPU ever!

The Problem

Accelerators Are Not Enough.

The semiconductor landscape is fracturing. For a decade, the industry prioritized massive parallelism at the expense of single-thread performance. As AI evolves from static chatbots to autonomous AI Agents, the bottleneck shifts. Agents do not just generate tokens. They reason, plan, and orchestrate. These serial tasks are currently stalled by legacy CPU architectures and the "Memory Wall."

When 90% of an AI Agent's latency is serialization, a faster GPU won't help. A faster CPU will.
Our Solution

RISC-V Without Compromise.

We bridge the gap between the freedom of open standards and the rigor of high-performance silicon.

Clean-Slate Design

No 40-year legacy tax. No decoder bloat. Just pure execution.

Unmatched Performance

Per core performance is the key to multi-core performance. AheadComputing's fast prime performance core architecture is designed to hide latency and maximize instruction level parallelism.

Server class and beyond

Built by the architects who defined the x86 server standard for the last two decades.

The Team

Architects of the Modern Data Center

Founded by the leaders of Intel’s Advanced Architecture Development Group (AADG). We didn't just read the textbooks on Out-of-order, superscalar modern processor design. We wrote the chapters on many generations of x86 and other architectures.

"The path to transformative CPU performance isn't about chasing incremental gains—it's about fundamental rethinking. You have to redesign core microarchitecture and goals. Debbie and her team at AheadComputing are approaching this problem with the kind of first-principles thinking that actually moves the industry forward. This team has collectively shipped over 70 products and holds hundreds of compute patents, representing both technical insight and execution capability. This is the caliber of engineering that delivers generational leaps, not evolutionary steps.” - Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent and Board Member at AheadComputing
