Exhibit 99.1
Pioneering AI Inference Acceleration Provider Selects
Silicom’s Inference-Specific Solution
- Customer placed initial orders to facilitate its PoC efforts targeting mainly Tier-1
hyperscalers, scheduled for H2/2026 –
KFAR SAVA, Israel, May 5, 2026 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of networking and data infrastructure solutions, today announced that one of the AI infrastructure challengers has selected its
high-performance, inference-specific solution for deployment as part of its Proof of Concept (PoC) efforts targeting mainly Tier-1 hyperscalers. The PoC is scheduled for the second half of 2026. To support this, the customer has placed initial orders
for delivery in the first half of 2026. Upon successful completion of the PoC, the customer anticipates transitioning to an initial full-scale deployment requiring tens of thousands of Silicom units, each carrying a multi-thousand-dollar Average
Selling Price (ASP).
This milestone underscores the exceptionally fast progress Silicom is making in the rapidly expanding AI inference market. By leveraging an
adaptable architecture of advanced FPGAs and high-performance COTS networking chips, Silicom's solutions help AI hardware developers overcome the "latency wall" and mitigate "hardware lottery" risks. Demonstrating growing market traction, the Company
has now secured orders from two of the world's most promising AI compute contenders for two distinct inference products, alongside a recent order to develop and deliver a new, third inference-specific product.
"We are witnessing a tectonic shift from capital-intensive AI training buildouts to massive, global inference deployments, which will soon
represent the vast majority of AI compute spend," said Liron Eizenman, Silicom’s CEO. "As query volumes scale exponentially, traditional general-purpose GPUs are no longer the most scalable path for pure inference. The industry is shifting toward
purpose-built architectures that deliver significantly lower total cost of ownership per token, superior energy efficiency, and optimized performance.”
“These early strategic engagements validate our technological edge,” concluded Mr. Eizenman. “We view our rapid progress in this
high-growth sector as a potential game changer for Silicom, and successfully capitalizing on this generational shift could significantly enhance our long-term growth trajectory.”

achieved by Silicom; fluctuations in customer purchasing cycles and the timing of customer deployments; protection of intellectual property, changes in exchange rates;
and the wars in Gaza, Lebanon and with Iran, as well as the war in the Ukraine, and existing and potential disruptions to global shipping routes such as the Straits of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
