The partnership integrates Empower’s FinFast™ technology with Marvell’s custom silicon to move voltage regulation from traditional board-level designs to silicon-integrated or near-chip solutions. “The collaboration with Marvell validates Empower’s technology as a foundational enabler of next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure,” said Tim Phillips, CEO of Empower Semiconductor. This approach delivers power directly at the point of load, reducing transmission losses by up to 85% and supporting the high current demands of advanced XPUs.
Marvell, a leader in data infrastructure semiconductors, sees this collaboration as a step toward enhancing its AI offerings. “Placing integrated voltage regulators (IVR) under, near, or inside the package delivers greater performance and greater efficiency,” said Will Chu, senior vice president and general manager of Custom Cloud Solutions at Marvell. The pre-validated IVR solutions will serve Marvell’s custom XPU customers, aligning with its projected 20% share of the $94 billion AI market, as noted by Wolfe Research.
Marvell’s stock price stands at $74.95, as shown in the finance card above, reflecting a 21.6% revenue growth over the past year. The collaboration supports Marvell’s focus on AI-driven infrastructure, with analysts forecasting strong sales growth in 2025 due to demand for custom AI chips. Empower, a Silicon Valley-based innovator, strengthens its position in the $2.1 billion AI agent market, projected to reach $80.9 billion by 2034, through this partnership.
Empower’s vertical power delivery architecture, part of its Crescendo platform, offers 3-4 amperes per square millimeter, doubling the density of typical solutions. This enables efficient power delivery for multi-kilowatt AI processors, reducing data center energy footprints. “Empower’s FinFast technology has uniquely enabled the adoption of vertical power delivery for hyperscalers,” said Phillips at the Barclays Semiconductor Summit. The collaboration, showcased at APEC 2025, positions both companies to meet the growing needs of hyperscalers like AWS, with whom Marvell has a multi-year agreement.
This partnership between Empower and Marvell marks a critical advancement in power management for AI and cloud infrastructure, driving efficiency and performance in the kilowatt-chip era.
Empower Semiconductor, based in Silicon Valley, powers the AI revolution with its FinFast™ technology by reducing the energy footprint and total cost of ownership of data centers. Its transformational integrated voltage regulators deliver on-demand scalable power with the speed, precision and signal integrity required by AI processors. Empower’s power-management architecture shrinks solution footprint, height and component count, achieving vertical power delivery with unprecedented power density and efficiency.
