SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Six-month-oldmicrochip startup Nuvacore, which does not yet have a product, is raising hundreds of millions of dollars at a roughly $2.5 billion valuation to develop a new central processor designed for data centers, according to two people familiar with the fundraising.
Nuvacore is seeking to raise the funds as the appetite for central processors has swollen due to the thirst for data-crunching capacity to power chatbots such as Anthropic's Claude.CPUs perform vital functions as traffic controllers for Nvidia's AI chips and run autonomous AI software known as agents.

旧金山，10 月 9 日（路透社）——据两位知情人士透露，成立仅六个月的微芯片初创公司 Nuvacore 目前还没有产品，但该公司正在以约 25 亿美元的估值筹集数亿美元，用于开发一款专为数据中心设计的新型中央处理器。
由于对数据处理能力的需求激增，Nuvacore 正在寻求筹集资金，以支持 Anthropic 的 Claude 等聊天机器人，导致对中央处理器的需求激增。CPU 作为英伟达 AI 芯片的流量控制器，发挥着至关重要的作用，并运行被称为代理的自主 AI 软件。
