Nvidia reportedly plans investment in AI chip developer d-Matrix

Nvidia reportedly plans to invest in d-Matrix, a startup developing chips for AI inference. The proposed investment is said to support Nvidia's effort to connect competing chip designs with its hardware ecosystem. The investment remains unconfirmed..

The companies already have a publicly announced technical relationship. On September 10, d-Matrix announced plans to use Nvidia's NVLink Fusion technology and MGX rack infrastructure with its Raptor processors. It also named Astera Labs as a connectivity partner..

D-Matrix develops hardware for inference, the process of running trained AI models. Its announced integration would let the company build systems around Nvidia's rack architecture and supporting supply chain while using its own processors. That technical collaboration is confirmed separately from the reported financing plan..

The investment's size and completion date have not been publicly confirmed. For the hardware partnership, d-Matrix expects initial availability of Raptor processors integrated into MGX racks during the fourth quarter of 2027..
