Nvidia to Invest in Chip Rival d-Matrix as Its Challengers Choose Partnership

d-Matrix announced its Corsair AI data centre platform has been named to Fast Company's 2026 Next Big Things in Tech list. The platform is now shipping to priority customers. Corsair was recognised in the Foundational AI category for its memory-centric design, which brings compute directly into memory to eliminate data-movement bottlenecks. The approach aims to enable faster, more energy-efficient AI at scale. Fast Company's annual list recognises breakthrough technologies with potential to transform industries. This year's honourees span multiple industries, each demonstrating potential for significant impact. d-Matrix develops memory-centric compute chips, software, and rack-scale systems for data centres. The company works independently or alongside GPUs and other compute platforms to address cost, latency, and power limitations of traditional architectures.

d-Matrix recognized on Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech list. d-Matrix's Corsair Inference Platform, Now Shipping to Priority Customers, Named Foundational AI Technology on Annual List Honoring Groundbreaking Technologies SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 6, 2026 - d-Matrix, a leader in AI inference compute, today announced its Corsair(TM) AI data center platform has been named to Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech, an annual list recognizing breakthrough technologies with the potential to transform industries and shape the future. Shipping to priority customers now, d-Matrix Corsair is recognized within the list's Foundational AI category for its memory-centric design that brings compute directly into memory - a breakthrough innovation that eliminates critical data-movement bottlenecks and enables faster, more energy-efficient AI at scale. "The speed and overall cost of running AI is tied directly to how efficiently data moves between memory and compute," said Sid Sheth, Founder and CEO of d-Matrix. "From day one we designed Corsair to solve this data movement bottleneck, knowing that memory-centric compute would be the answer. Recognition from Fast Company is a meaningful milestone for our team, coming at the same time customers are beginning to deploy Corsair at scale to make faster, more sustainable inference a reality." Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech recognizes innovative technologies developed by established companies, startups, and research teams that are making meaningful progress toward transforming the lives of consumers, businesses, and society. This year's honorees span industries, with each innovation demonstrating the potential to create significant impact in the years ahead. "The most exciting technology innovations are the ones that move beyond promise to demonstrate real potential for impact," said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. "The companies and teams recognized on this year's list are tackling ambitious problems with new ideas, products, and approaches that have the potential to fundamentally shape the years ahead."
