SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Cohu, Inc. ( COHU ) , a global supplier of equipment and services optimizing semiconductor manufacturing yield and productivity, today announced a leading U.S. based semiconductor manufacturer and foundry services company placed a multi-unit order for the Eclipse platform to support development and manufacturing of next‑generation high‑performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) datacenter processors.

This order expands Cohu’s presence in the fast-growing AI datacenter computing market and strengthens its collaboration with a leading advanced processor manufacturer. It also reflects rising demand for scalable, high performance test solutions as AI processor complexity and power density continue to increase.

The Eclipse platform is a field upgradable solution engineered to meet the stringent test requirements of AI datacenter devices—including GPUs, CPUs, custom AI accelerators, and ASICs—by delivering high socket force, precise thermal control, and broad test coverage. These capabilities support ultra-large form factor (ULFF) packages and address the rising power and thermal demands of current and next generation processors.

This new order represents the second customer adopting the Eclipse platform, reflecting increasing customer momentum and early market validation of Eclipse as a next‑generation test solution for advanced compute and AI datacenter applications.

“Together these orders underscore the increasing importance of scalable, thermally precise test architectures as AI and HPC processors continue to push the limits of power density and performance,” said Luis Müller, Cohu ( COHU ) President and CEO. “We are increasingly confident in the success of the Eclipse platform and estimate Cohu ( COHU ) can deliver revenue toward the upper end of our internal projection of approximately $65 million to $80 million from the HPC segment this year.”

These customer engagements highlight Cohu’s continued investment in scalable, high‑performance semiconductor test and inspection solutions, including Cohu’s Neon inspection platform, which delivers AI-enabled, high-precision inspection and metrology for advanced packages used in AI and HPC applications. Together, Eclipse and Neon position Cohu ( COHU ) to support the industry’s transition to increasingly complex, thermally demanding and highly integrated AI and advanced device architectures.
