About Xsight Labs
Xsight Labs is a fabless chip company that designs programmable network silicon for data centers. Its X2 is a 12.8 Tbps Ethernet switch whose data plane can be reprogrammed after deployment, and its E1 is an 800G data processing unit, a chip that offloads networking work from the main server processor. The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Kiryat Gat, Israel, with other offices in Israel, Armenia and the United States. Some press coverage places it in Tel Aviv instead.

What Xsight Labs works on
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
Interconnect & Networking
Interconnect is the set of links that move data between chips, between boards and between racks. It includes wires on a package, cables inside a server, and the network switches and optical fibre across a data center. A processor is only as useful as the speed at which it can get data in and out.
