SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a technology leader with impressive gross profit margins of 85.86% and strong revenue growth of 19.55% over the last twelve months, announced the launch of its new Millennium M2000 Supercomputer at CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2025 today. The supercomputer, integrated with NVIDIA Blackwell systems, is designed to significantly enhance simulation speeds and scale for a wide array of workloads, including electronic design automation (EDA), system design and analysis (SDA), and drug discovery.
The Millennium M2000 Supercomputer boasts up to 80 times the performance and 20 times the power efficiency of CPU-based systems. It combines Cadence’s solvers with NVIDIA HGX B200 systems, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and solver software. This integration aims to reduce simulation run times across various disciplines, facilitating the development of AI infrastructure, physical AI machine design, and drug design advancements.
Anirudh Devgan, president and CEO of Cadence, emphasized the supercomputer’s ability to leverage scalable solvers and dedicated NVIDIA-accelerated computing to drive AI-accelerated engineering forward. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, also highlighted the supercomputer’s role as an "AI factory for science," capable of driving multidisciplinary breakthroughs. According to InvestingPro analysis, Cadence currently trades above its Fair Value, reflecting investor optimism about its technological innovations.

The Millennium M2000 is built upon the success of its predecessor, the Millennium M1, which provided performance and energy efficiency for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The new supercomputer is expected to transform semiconductor and 3D-IC design, data center digital twins, and drug discovery modeling, among other engineering challenges.
In the semiconductor sector, the M2000 Supercomputer is touted as the first purpose-built emulator for AI design, optimizing 3D-IC and advanced packaging designs more efficiently. It also promises to accelerate the design and operation of data center digital twins and the virtual simulation of AI-embodied systems like autonomous transportation and robotics.
For life sciences, Cadence’s Orion® Molecular Design Platform on Cadence OnCloud, available on the M2000, is set to expedite drug discovery by enabling more simulations in less time, thus enhancing the scalability of the process. The company’s strong financial health score of "GREAT" on InvestingPro, coupled with its current ratio of 3.07, indicates robust operational capability to support these technological advances.
The supercomputer is available for use in the cloud or as an on-premises appliance, with endorsements from several customers in various industries.
