Pliops Ltd., a startup data center processor company, has announced that it has closed on a USD 100 million late-stage funding round to support it as it competes with industry heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. and Oracle Corp. to improve the efficiency of information processing.
SK Hynix, Lip-Bu Tan, the chairman of Walden International, State of Mind Ventures Momentum, and previous investors joined Koch Disruptive Technologies in leading the Series D round. Since its debut in 2017, Pliops has raised more than USD 200 million in total.
