Andover, MA – January 9, 2018 – Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced that it was honored with an Electronic Products’ Product of the Year Award for its Power-on-Package modular current multipliers (MCM) for high-performance, high-current, CPU/GPU/ASIC (“XPU”) processors.

Vicor’s was one of only 12 products to be selected in Electronic Products’ designated award categories. The winning products were selected on the basis of innovative design, significant advancement in technology or application, and substantial achievement in price and performance. Vicor’s Power-on-Package solution demonstrated breakthrough performance among power products by freeing up XPU socket pins and eliminating interconnect losses from the motherboard to the XPU, enabling higher current delivery for maximum XPU performance.

“Power-on-Package enables XPUs to achieve previously unattainable performance levels which are required for demanding applications such as Artificial Intelligence”, said Robert Gendron, Corporate VP of Product Marketing at Vicor.  “MCMs deliver higher peak and average currents to XPUs by eliminating traditional motherboard and socket power delivery limitations.”

2017 marks the 42nd annual Electronic Products’ “Product of the Year Awards,” recognizing the best products in the industry. The 2017 Product of the Year Awards were announced in the January 2018 issue of Electronic Products with a cover feature and a brief description of each product. Additionally, the winning products appear on Electronic Products’ website.
