Singapore-headquartered Symatics, a semiconductor startup developing AI chips, unveiled its Morphic Processing Unit (MPU) architecture at the Business & Philanthropy Forum 2026. The company said the design aimed to speed up AI responses by changing how data is organized and processed.

Symatics said the architecture used row-column parallelism and compiler-planned execution to reduce data movement between memory and processing components, which can slow AI workloads.

The company said the MPU was aimed at interactive AI and reasoning tasks. Symatics plans to work with research and industry partners in Singapore through an open architecture and licensing model.

The MPU remains in development. Reviewed materials showed no funding, prototype, or tape-out milestones, and Symatics said technical validation was ongoing.

The announcement comes as AI chip developers target inference workloads and reduce data movement through memory-centric designs, while Singapore seeks to strengthen its role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.
