Efficient Computer

Efficient was founded in 2022 by a team of internationally recognized leaders in computer architecture and commercial efficient computing devices that found it unacceptable that computing today wastes so much energy.  Leveraging nearly a decade of fundamental research, the team developed a revolutionary new computer architecture built around spatial dataflow and yielding best-in-class efficiency and performance.  By adopting a strategy of hardware/software co-design, the team is simultaneously building the chip that implements this architecture, and the software ecosystem that makes it valuable for a wide range of general-purpose use cases.  The generality and exceptional developer experience of the Efficient ecosystem enables trailblazing lead customers to deploy devices with category-defining efficiency and fast time to market.

Looking to the future, Efficient is poised to supplant today’s inefficient and unprogrammable computing options by scaling performance and maintaining efficiency and programmability.  Efficient’s architecture ushers in a new era of efficient, general-purpose computing, enabling innovation in a wide range of high-value use cases.
