That field was once dominated by Nvidia, but as Nvidia has focused its attention on lower-precision computing tasks such as artificial intelligence, startups like NextSilicon have tried to take advantage of the AI giant's shift. On Wednesday, NextSilicon also disclosed for the first time that it is developing a complement to its main chip in
