ME News reports that on April 16 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Gerard Williams III, former head of low-power chip architecture at Apple and founder of Nuvia, has launched a new startup, Nuvacore, focused on redesigning general-purpose CPU cores for the AI era. The company has secured a seed round led by Sequoia Capital. The founding team is highly accomplished, including fellow Apple and Nuvia veterans John Bruno and Ram Srinivasan as co-founders. Williams’s previous venture, Nuvia, was acquired by Qualcomm for $1.4 billion in 2021; its Oryon architecture now forms the core of Qualcomm’s PC and smartphone chips. Unlike traditional manufacturers pursuing incremental improvements, Nuvacore advocates rewriting the rules of silicon from scratch. Its flagship product is a general-purpose CPU highly optimized for AI workloads and agentic computing, designed to deliver peak performance with exceptional area efficiency, suitable for applications ranging from core infrastructure to advanced AI systems.
