SAN JOSE, CA, June 20, 2025 – Empower Semiconductor has announced a collaboration with Marvell Technology to develop integrated power solutions for Marvell custom silicon platforms. The advanced solutions are designed to accelerate the transformation of power delivery systems to smaller silicon chips coupled with the processor.
The joint solutions are part of Empower’s mission to address the power delivery challenges of the kilowatt-chip era. By integrating power delivery with advanced processors, Empower and Marvell enable hyperscalers and infrastructure providers to maximize their performance, efficiency, and return on investment (ROI) of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud data centers.
“The collaboration with Marvell validates Empower’s technology as a foundational enabler of next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure,” commented Tim Phillips, CEO of Empower Semiconductor. “With integrated voltage regulation, we’re delivering power where it’s needed – right at the point of load – with exceptional density, precision and efficiency.”
“Placing integrated voltage regulators (IVR) under, near, or inside the package delivers greater performance and greater efficiency,” said Will Chu, senior vice president and general manager of custom cloud solutions at Marvell. “We look forward to working with Empower to bring pre-validated packaged IVR power solutions to our custom XPU customers.”
The partnership uses Empower’s FinFast technology and a vertical power delivery setup to give system designers tested, compact power solutions. These shift voltage regulation away from the traditional board-based designs, placing it on or near the chip. By putting power delivery closer to the processor, these systems help lower power loss, improve efficiency, and handle the increasing current needs of new XPUs.
