A stealthy new company based in Southwest Washington called PowerLattice Technologies is raising cash, according to new SEC filings.
The company filed two forms this week that show more than $22 million raised.
PowerLattice is 'bringing paradigm shift in power delivery solutions for AI, datacenter and high performance compute processors,' according to its website.
The startup lists its headquarters at a co-working space in Camas, Wash.
We've reached out to the company for more details.
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is listed a director on one of the filings. Gelsinger spent more than three decades at Intel, more recently as its CEO from 2021 to December 2024. He previously led VMWare as CEO for more than eight years.
Steve Fu, a semiconductor industry vet and a partner at Silicon Valley VC firm Celesta, is also listed as a director. Celsta's founding partner Lip-Bu Tan is the current CEO at Intel.
The executives listed on the filings are Peng Zou, Sujith Dermal, and Gang Gen.
A search on LinkedIn for those names shows potential connections to NUVIA, a chip design startup acquired by Qualcomm in 2021.
The Oregonian reported on the filings on Tuesday.

Alibaba Cloud's Rapid Rise: Is AI Setting Up More Upside Ahead?
Alibaba's BABA Cloud Intelligence Group is gaining strong momentum as its core unit, Alibaba Cloud, continues to scale with rising AI adoption, an area that is expected to remain a key driver of accelerated revenue growth. BABA's AI products are seeing broader adoption across a wide range of industry verticals, including Internet, retail, manufacturing and media, with a growing focus on value-added applications. Building on this momentum, Alibaba expects demand to accelerate in the coming quarters. The company highlighted that many businesses are moving away from traditional, in-house infrastructure and shifting AI workloads to the cloud. To meet this shift, the company is increasing investments in AI products and services, to increase cloud adoption for AI and maintain its market leadership. This focus is already showing through in product innovation and global expansion. In April, Alibaba released its Qwen3 model series, an open-source family of AI models built for tasks like coding and general reasoning. Globally, Alibaba Cloud is expanding its footprint with a second data center set to launch in South Korea by the end of June. New partnerships with SAP and Panasonic further integrate Alibaba's AI tools into enterprise operations and connected home ecosystems. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Alibaba's Cloud Intelligence Group generated RMB 30.1 billion ($4.15 billion) in revenues, up 18% year over year, contributing around 12.7% of total revenues. This was driven by the increasing adoption of AI-related products. With AI-related product revenues growing at triple digits for seven straight quarters, Alibaba Cloud is fast becoming the foundation of the company's AI-driven future. Several players are competing with Alibaba Cloud in AI-powered cloud services, with Amazon AMZN and Microsoft MSFT expanding rapidly. Amazon recently added Claude 4 to Amazon Bedrock, strengthening its generative AI lineup and simplifying enterprise AI development. Bedrock remains a core part of Amazon's AWS' strategy to drive AI adoption. Microsoft is advancing through its Azure AI Essentials program, launched under its AI Center of Excellence. This initiative by Microsoft offers tools and guidance to help businesses scale AI responsibly.

Analysts reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings
An elephant might never forget but Micron Technology (MU) has more storage space. The Boise, Idaho, company makes memory and storage chips for data centers, computers and smartphones, and its client list includes such tech-sector superstars as AI-chip chieftain Nvidia (NVDA) , Mac and iPhone maker Apple (AAPL) , Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) and software kingpin Microsoft (MSFT) . Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Make no mistake, there's money in memories, and we're not just talking about those singing cats on Broadway. "After the historic downturn of 2022–2023, the memory industry has entered a phase of strong recovery. In 2024, memory revenue reached a record $170 billion," according to market researcher Yole Group. "This rebound was fueled by AI-training requirements in data centers, with [high-bandwidth memory) playing a pivotal role due to its premium pricing and performance advantages," the firm added. HBM continues to outperform the broader DRAM chip segment, Yole Group said. This year HBM revenue is set to nearly double to around $34 billion. Micron is a key player in the HBM market, offering solutions like HBM3E and HBM4 designed for high-performance computing and AI company recently joined the Trump administration to unveil plans to expand its U.S. investments to about $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in research and development, creating an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time)Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms moveGoogle plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move "Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry," Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a statement. The company's shares are up nearly up nearly 45% this year and off 16% from this time in 2024. Investment firms have been issuing research reports for Micron Technology ahead of its fiscal-third-quarter earnings report, scheduled for June 25. Wedbush boosted its price target on Micron to $150 from $130 while maintaining an outperform rating. The firm said memory-pricing trends turned more positive in the second quarter. And while Wedbush said it doesn't see as significant an inflection in Q3 as it had been expecting back in March, the firm said pricing for both DRAM and NAND, which are two types of semiconductor memory, "still will lift over the next couple of quarters." Better fundamentals are driven by stronger enterprise/server demand, which started around April and looks to hold through the rest of the year, Wedbush said. Demand for both AI and standard workloads appears better than might have been initially anticipated, it said. "Moreover, we view growing [high-bandwidth memory] requirements as not just positive for MU's numbers but also ultimately positive for industry dynamics as [capital spending] and clean-room space are reallocated to support HBM growth," Wedbush said. Related: Analysts rework Micron stock price targets after earnings This will limit the likelihood of too much supply of NAND/DRAM, and it increases the probability that production of more standard parts will trail demand. That, the firm said, would create a more positive pricing/margin cycle vs. what is embedded in its expectations, the firm said. Morgan Stanley maintained an equal-weight rating and $98 price target on Micron, given how much the stock has rallied already, according to The Fly. But the investment firm is "tactically bullish," given that AI spending is materially accelerating as Micron grows its participation. The investment firm, which notes that its estimates remain 20% above consensus for August-quarter earnings, also highlights Sandisk, which it likes better long term and on which it has an overweight rating. Based in Milpitas, Calif., Sandisk designs and produces flash-memory products, including memory cards, USB flash drives and solid-state drives. Consensus numbers have started to come up for Micron over the past few weeks, but in addition to Morgan Stanley being about 20% above consensus for August earnings per share, the firm is also 14% above for November after it raised estimates six weeks ago.

India says it has yet to decide where to analyse crashed plane's recorders
By Hritam Mukherjee (Reuters) -India has yet to decide where the black box recorders from last week's fatal crash of an Air India plane will be analysed, the government said on Thursday. Earlier, Indian newspaper The Economic Times reported that India planned to send the recorders to the U.S. for analysis as the fire that followed the crash had damaged them to an extent it would be impossible to extract data in India. The crash of the Boeing Dreamliner moments after take-off from the western city of Ahmedabad on June 12 killed 241 people on board and at least 30 on the ground in the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade. The government said in a statement that the decision on where the decoding of the recorders would take place would be made after India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has made a "due assessment" of all technical, safety and security considerations. AAIB's Director General GVG Yugandhar told Reuters earlier in an emailed response that the Economic Times report was "factually incorrect", but gave no further details. The government statement did not explicitly rule out the possibility of the flight recorders being sent to the United States. It asked for people not to speculate on what it called sensitive matters and stressed the crash probe was progressing with all necessary support from local authorities and agencies. Planes' black boxes have two components - the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder - and provide crucial insights for crash investigators, including altitude and airspeed data and pilot conversation records that help determine probable causes of crashes. The Economic Times report said recorder data would be extracted at the National Transportation Safety Board's Washington-based laboratory and shared with the AAIB in the presence of Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch. The NTSB and UK's AAIB said in separate statements that India's accident investigating body would release more information on the probe.
