"Alphawave is proud to be among the first to utilize TSMC's most advanced 3nm

technology. Our partnership continues to bring innovative, high-speed

connectivity technology that will power the most advanced data centers, and we

are excited to showcase these solutions at the TSMC OIP Forum event."

Along with the exhibition, Alphawave IP's VP of Marketing, Clint Walker will be

showcasing customer success from Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, in the

"Integration Methodology of High-End SerDes IP into FPGAs based on Early

Technology Model Availability" presentation at the event.  Attendees will be
