When Neologic It began building the most efficient CPU for AI servers, industry peoples told the founders of Avi Messica and Ziv Leshem that their idea was not sustainable.
“Most of the people we met say it is impossible,” Messica told TechCrunch. “Some of them told us, then, that innovation is impossible because you cannot innovate in logical composition. You cannot innovate in circuit design.
However, the Israeli-based neologic neologic, however, was set to prove wrong and the start of Fabless semiconductor has created a CPU server that uses more simplified logic-how a chip processes information-with less transistor and logical gates to run faster while it requires.
Neologic was founded in 2021 by Messica, CEO and Leshem, CTO, who together have 50 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. Leshem has spent decades on designing chips in companies such as Intel and Summary, while Messica focused on circuit design and construction.
“We were working with this company more than four years ago because Moore’s law was dead,” Messica said, referring to the 1960s that the number of transistors in microchip was doubled every two years.
About a decade ago, Messica said, the companies stopped trying to escalate the transistors in size, because the transistors had taken so small, there was no much more progress there.
But, he says, Neologic was not convinced. The start collaborates with two over -the -top design partners in the design of the server’s CPUs, but Messica will not reveal their names. The company plans to have a core test chip by the end of the year and hopes to take the server CPUs in data centers by 2027.

Neologic recently set a $ 10 million series, led by Kompas VC involving Meniv, Maniv Mobility and Lool Ventures. The company will use the funds to expand its engineers team and continue to develop its CPUs.
The funding tour comes as the data centers are turning existing energy resources without relief. The ongoing AI explosion has the use of the data center that is expected to be doubled in the next four years.
Messica hopes that Neologic’s energy saving potential will help make server CPUs be too attractive to ignore the market.
“It affects everything,” Messica said of possible energy savings. “If you are talking about next -generation data centers, it affects the cost of construction; it affects the amount of capital you will invest because you can shave about 30% of the costs and affects the use of water.
