Forward Guidance
Q2 bookings remained weak, ahead of production release of an AI platform with a Lateral Power Distribution Network (“PDN”) using a 4G ChiP-set, now expected to ramp in Q4. With the imminent completion of our first foundry, with 5G FPA enabling scalable, high efficiency Vertical Power Delivery (“VPD”), and with automotive electrification driving broad acceptance of ChiPs, I am confident about Vicor’s future growth and profitability.
Positive Outlook
- Production release of an AI platform with a Lateral Power Distribution Network (“PDN”) using a 4G ChiP-set, now expected to ramp in Q4.
- The same 4G ChiP-set will support a more adept Lateral-Vertical PDN, enabling a reduction of nearly 100W in total power consumption at heavy workloads and superior processor performance
- Further performance improvements will be enabled by 5G MCMs, raising current density by nearly 3X.
- High current density is necessary for 2nd Gen VPD to circumvent the stacking complexity and cost of 1st Gen VPD modules.
- With automotive electrification driving broad acceptance of ChiPs.
Challenges Ahead
- Q2 bookings remained weak.
- AI platform with a Lateral Power Distribution Network (“PDN”) using a 4G ChiP-set now expected to ramp in Q4.
- Stacking complexity and cost of 1st Gen VPD modules.
- Forward-looking statements are subject to various factors, including those economic, business, operational and financial considerations
- Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements
