ForwardEdge ASIC Announces UCIe 3.0 IP Solution to Accelerate Next-Generation Chiplet-Based ASIC Innovation

Industry-leading UCIe 3.0 IP enables higher bandwidth, improved scalability, and faster integration for advanced heterogeneous semiconductor designs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Paul, Minnesota — October 9, 2026 — ForwardEdge ASIC, a leading provider of custom ASIC design and silicon solutions, today announced the availability of its new UCIe 3.0 IP solution, designed to help semiconductor companies, hyperscalers, AI innovators, and system developers accelerate the creation of next-generation chiplet-based devices.

As traditional monolithic SoC architectures hit complexity, cost, time-to-market and yield limits, die-to-die connectivity offers an essential path forward. ForwardEdge ASIC’s UCIe 3.0 IP delivers high-performance, low-latency interconnect capabilities while supporting heterogeneous integration across process nodes, IP vendors, and packaging technologies. By leveraging the UCIe ecosystem, customers can reduce development risk, accelerate product schedules, and optimize silicon performance for the most demanding workloads.

“The semiconductor industry is rapidly transitioning toward chiplet-based architectures as a foundation for future innovation,” said Frank Ferrante, CEO of ForwardEdge ASIC. “Our UCIe 3.0 IP gives design teams a proven path to build highly integrated ASIC solutions with greater scalability, performance, and design flexibility while reducing time-to-market and SoC complexity.”
