ZeusCORE100(R) is Alphawave's most advanced multi-standard-SerDes, supporting 
extra-long channels over 45dB and the most requested standards such as 800G 
Ethernet, OIF 112G-CEI, PCIe GEN6, and CXL3.0. Attendees will be able to visit 
the Alphawave booth and meet the company's technology experts including members 
of the recently acquired OpenFive (

) team.  OpenFive is a longstanding partner of TSMC through the OIP Value Chain 
Aggregator (VCA) program. OpenFive is one of a select few companies with an 
idea-to-silicon methodology in TSMC's latest technologies, and advanced 
packaging capabilities, enabling access to the most advanced foundry solution 
available with the best Power-Performance-Area (PPA). With Alphawave's 
industry-leading IP portfolio and the addition of OpenFive's capabilities, 
designers can create systems on a chip (SoCs) that pack more compute power into 
smaller form factors for networking, AI, storage, and high-performance 
computing (HPC) applications.

Tony Pialis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alphawave said: 
"Alphawave is proud to be among the first to utilize TSMC's most advanced 3nm 
technology. Our partnership continues to bring innovative, high-speed 
connectivity technology that will power the most advanced data centers, and we 
are excited to showcase these solutions at the TSMC OIP Forum event."

Along with the exhibition, Alphawave IP's VP of Marketing, Clint Walker will be 
showcasing customer success from Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, in the 
"Integration Methodology of High-End SerDes IP into FPGAs based on Early 
Technology Model Availability" presentation at the event.  Attendees will be 
able to learn about a successful product from one of Alphawave IP's first 
customers for 112Gbps PAM4 SerDes.
