# Oxmiq Raises $35M Series A for Unified GPU/CPU/TPU Architecture

> Oxmiq raised a 35 million dollar Series A co-led by Fundomo and Samsung Catalyst Fund, bringing its total to 60 million, to scale an unusual idea in AI hardware: a single licensable IP block that combines GPU, CPU, and TPU functions. Rather than build finished chips, Oxmiq wants to sell the architecture so semiconductor firms and cloud providers can design custom AI processors without shouldering the full cost of a system-on-chip from scratch. The names attached are the real signal. The company is led by Raja Koduri, former graphics chief at both AMD and Intel, and its board just added Jim Keller, the celebrated chip architect now running Tenstorrent, with an ex-Intel process-technology fellow joining as advisor. In a market where Nvidia's dominance has everyone hunting for alternatives, a licensable, mix-and-match architecture is a contrarian angle. Whether IP licensing can dent a world of vertically integrated giants is the open question, but the talent betting on it is hard to ignore.
