(Reuters) - Onsemi on Wednesday unveiled a lineup of chips designed to make the data centers that power artificial intelligence services more energy efficient by borrowing a technology it already sells for electric vehicles.
Onsemi is one of a handful of suppliers of chips made of silicon carbide, an alternative to standard silicon that is more pricey to manufacture but more efficient at converting power from one form to another. In recent years, silicon carbide has found wide use in electric vehicles, where swapping out the chips between the vehicle's battery and motors can give cars a boost in range.
