Start a chip company in 1995 and compete through decades of hardware design and innovation.
Start in 1995 with a small office, a handful of engineers, and one goal: build the most important chip company in the world.
Research new technologies, design CPUs and GPUs, create complete laptops, hire specialists, manage factories, and turn each product generation into a real business. Performance, manufacturing cost, thermals, pricing, timing, and demand all shape the result.
Compete with AI-controlled companies as the industry moves across decades of hardware. Expand your offices and production, react to changing markets, and build a product lineup strong enough to survive the next technological shift.
Silicon Empire is a deep single-player business simulation built for players who want to understand why a product succeeds — or why it fails.
Optional one-time expansions add manual die-layout and architecture tools, plus ISA, operating-system, and software-ecosystem design. The base game remains a complete experience without them.
The store hasn’t given us a per-star breakdown for this one yet.
