GEORGE TOWN: Penang has achieved another technological milestone with the creation of Malaysia’s first locally designed semiconductor chip, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) developed by Penang-based Silicon X, with applications spanning artificial intelligence (AI), automotive systems and advanced LED display technologies.
The breakthrough, accomplished under the Penang Silicon Design @5km+ (PSD@5KM+) initiative, marks the first time a Malaysian-designed chip has been successfully powered on.
