Graphcore designs and supplies Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) AI accelerators and associated systems for machine-learning workloads.
Graphcore is a UK AI-semiconductor company designing IPU accelerator silicon, systems and Poplar software, now operating as a wholly owned SoftBank subsidiary. Its current presence is verified by an active Companies House record through March 2025 accounts, 2025 research activity, a £1 billion India investment announcement in October 2025, and the opening of a Bengaluru AI Engineering Campus in May 2026. The open question is whether SoftBank is converting the company’s established IPU technology into a new, commercially shipped accelerator generation; no 2025-26 product launch, volume-shipping announcement or customer-scale deployment was verified.
