❓ About SiPearl

SiPearl is the European fabless designer of sovereign secure high-performance energy‑efficient CPUs for HPC, AI and data centres. These CPUs will help address strategic challenges in the fields of security, defence, medical research, energy, climate and engineering with a reduced environmental footprint.

In June 2025, SiPearl completed the design of the most complex CPU ever designed in Europe, Rhea1, featuring 80 Arm Neoverse V1 cores and 61 billion transistors. The chip is currently in production at TSMC and will equip the first two European exascale supercomputers: Rhea1 will be integrated into the JUPITER machine based in Germany and Rhea2 will be part of Alice Recoque in France.
