The electric field approach minimizes the movement of electrons at the chip level, reducing energy usage — and heat.
TOPS/W is a bit of a vague metric, but the takeaway is that memcapacitors can lead to dramatic energy consumption reductions while training AI models.
Now, it’s early days for Semron, which Kirschen says is in the “pre-product” stage and has “negligible” revenue to show for it.
EnCharge, like Semron, is designing computer chips that use capacitors rather than transistors, but using a different substrate architecture.
Semron will be a key element in solving this problem by providing a revolutionary new chip that is inherently specialized on computing AI models.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is pumping $3.5 million into C16 Biosciences, the Y Combinator-backed company fermenting alternatives to the environmentally destructive palm oil business.
While the industry’s given itself something of a makeover lately, deforestation linked to palm oil production is once again on the rise.
Using yeast and agriculturally derived feedstocks, C16 already brews an alternative to the seed oil for use in beauty products, under the name Palmless.
A 2020 study found that climate pollution from palm oil plantations alone equate to about half that of the whole aviation industry.
In addition to the Gates Foundation and Elemental, C16’s previous investors include Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy and DCVC.
