NeoLogic wants to build more energy-efficient CPUs for AI data centers
Israel’s NeoLogic, founded in 2021 by semiconductor vets Avi Messica and Ziv Leshem, just closed a $10 million Series A led by KOMPAS VC. Despite naysayers, the fabless startup is building server CPUs with simplified logic—fewer transistors and gates—to boost speed and cut power use by up to 30%. A single-core test chip is due this year, with full data-center rollout targeted for 2027 as AI demand pushes power needs through the roof.
