This is just an initial agreement and not a done deal, but it marks an important first step. According to Akash, the money would go toward ramping up production of its diamond semiconductor solutions for AI, data centers, space tech, and defense applications.
As for what diamond chips offer, diamond is an exceptional thermal conductor. Akash aims to overcome one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern computing – keeping hot chips cool enough to operate at peak performance – by using synthetic diamond substrates or integrating diamond into semiconductor materials.
