Rebellions’ inception in 2020.
KT, the South Korean telecom giant, led this latest round as a strategic investor. Previous backers Temasek’s Pavilion Capital and Korea Development Bank, and new investors including Korelya Capital and DG Daiwa Ventures, also participated.
Rebellions’ fundraise comes at a key moment in the chip industry, specifically around the development and use of AI chips.
Nvidia is the AI chip market leader, its name synonymous with the AI boom that is currently sweeping the technology world. Many have observed how Nvidia has thrived in part because of the moat created around an ecosystem of hardware and software. But it’s far from game-over for the rest of the field. Data processing and related high costs continue to be major issues when it comes to AI applications, so the scramble continues in the search for innovative breakthroughs to improve these.
Developments are coming from multiple fronts. Big Tech titans such as Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft develop or have their own chips to integrate AI into their products and services. Open AI chief executive officer Sam Altman reportedly visited South Korea last week to meet the country’s chip industry leaders,

This fundraise — which has been rumored for months — comes on the heels of other moves at the startup. Last October, Rebellions announced that it would develop its newest Rebel chip in partnership with

The two companies aim to complete the development of Rebel by the end of this year and start mass production in 2025, Shin said, adding that the next-generation AI chip will target the generative AI market running large language models (LLMs) and hyperscalers.
Shin told TechCrunch that Rebel will use

Rebellions’ unique selling point is a claim that its technology and products have more versatility than customized AI chips, meaning they can support various generative AI models that need AI accelerators.
The company CFO stressed that Rebellions will cooperate with

It’s also been working with customers using its previous generations of chips. In May 2023, Rebellions’ strategic investor, KT, installed Atom, Rebellions’ data-center targeted AI chip, in its cloud-based neural processing units (NPU) infrastructure. Rebellions says it expects to genera

研調機構 Canalys 於官方 X 帳號釋出全球真無線耳機最新出貨排行榜，於 2023 年第三季兩強蘋果、三星均呈現下衰，原先第五名的 Oppo 在本季則被 Skullcandy 擠出前五強。
全球出貨市占率最高的仍是蘋果 AirPods，橫掃市場約 27%，然而面臨年成長衰退 8%，至於 2-5 名的市佔率相對接近，位居第二的三星有 8%，年成長減少 9.5%。兩大品牌均未在近期發表中階、入門新品，蘋果只有推出 USB-C 版本的 AirPods Pro 2，未更新其功能，至於三星則是在夏季發表高階款的 Galaxy Buds2 Pro。
排行後面的品牌依序為 boAt（7％）、小米（5％）與 Skullcandy（3％），其中 Skullcandy 年成長略減 1%，仍成功取代 Oppo 卡位第五名。
本次最亮眼的為 boAt 和 小米，帶來年成長 26% 與 22% 的驚人表現，尤其是來自於印度、主打平價市場的 boAt，去年第三季報告就有 50% 的年成長率，如今又維持 26% 的增長，距離三星只剩一個百分點，未來有望挑戰全球第二的寶座。
