An EU startup just beat Nvidia in AI hardware (www.techradar.com)

European startup Euclyd has unveiled its groundbreaking AI hardware, the CRAFTWERK SiP, which reportedly outperforms Nvidia's offerings in key dimensions such as performance and power efficiency. Launched at the KISACO Infrastructure Summit 2025 in Santa Clara, CRAFTWERK is designed specifically for agentic AI workloads and boasts a staggering bandwidth of 8,000 terabytes per second from its custom ultra-bandwidth memory, alongside compute capabilities reaching up to 8 petaflops in FP16 and 32 petaflops in FP4 precision. Euclyd claims that their innovative design philosophy, which integrates custom processors and memory, has resulted in the industry’s lowest power consumption and energy usage for AI inference. In a full rack configuration, the CRAFTWERK STATION CWS 32 can achieve a performance of 1.024 exaflops with 32TB of UBM and the ability to process 7.68 million tokens per second—all with a power draw of just 125 kilowatts. While these specifications suggest a leap forward in data center efficiency and performance for AI inference, the claims await independent verification outside of Euclyd's testing. As startups in the semiconductor industry often struggle with scale and integration, the real-world performance of CRAFTWERK will ultimately determine if these ambitious specifications translate into a viable competitor against established players like Nvidia.
