IC China 2024

From November 18th to 20th, 2024, the 21st China International Semiconductor Exhibition (IC China 2024) was held in Beijing. The exhibition, themed "Gathering the Whole Industry's Resources · Achieving Large-Scale Industrial Collaboration", presented a panoramic view of the development trends and technological innovations of the semiconductor industry. At the "Special Forum on Artificial Intelligence and Large Model Chips", Liu Jianwei, Co-founder and Vice President of Axera, shared the latest insights on the development of the large model chip industry and introduced the AxeraNeurons AI Processor tailored for applications in the intelligent era. During the exhibition, invited by the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Association, Axera showcased a variety of edge and end-side AI chip products at the event.

Accelerating Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement, AI Becomes the New Infrastructure for the Productivity Revolution

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has enabled in-depth communication between humans and machines. At the forum, Liu Jianwei stated that today's artificial intelligence has created new ways to utilize computing power through a new computing paradigm. The popularization of large models allows people to generate any desired form of content from simple inputs such as text, audio and images, which greatly improves the efficiency and experience of our production and daily life while further reducing costs. "It can be said that artificial intelligence today has become the intelligent infrastructure for social development."

With the increasing specialization of AI inference and training, although GPUs can reduce the energy consumption of redundant computations on CPUs, they are not built for artificial intelligence and also face the problem of high investment costs. To maximize the performance of chips, more economical, efficient and eco-friendly AI processors are needed. Based on this trend judgment, Axera launched the AxeraNeurons AI Processor.

Built for AI, AxeraNeurons Embraces "Simplification"

Officially released in July this year, the AxeraNeurons AI Processor features an Operator Instruction Set and a Data Stream Microarchitecture at its core. It adopts a programmable data stream microarchitecture at the underlying layer to improve energy efficiency and computing power density. Meanwhile, its flexibility ensures the comprehensiveness of the Operator Instruction Set to support a variety of AI applications, and its mature software toolchain allows developers to get started quickly.

In terms of the co-design of hardware and software, the AxeraNeurons AI Processor chooses to "simplify". In this regard, Liu Jianwei said that in the face of the ever-growing demands of enterprises, only by disassembling and matching the core needs can the maximum efficiency of the AI processor be exerted. This also ensures the rapid iteration of the AxeraNeurons AI Processor, thus maintaining its sustainable competitiveness.

Two Core Sectors, Three Computing Power Tiers, Inclusive AI Scales Up Its Coverage

With its outstanding computing power performance and cost control, AxeraNeurons products have been widely applied in two core sectors: intelligent AIoT and intelligent driving, and cover high, medium and low computing power tiers. It helps enterprises with different computing power demands obtain AI-specific chips tailored to their business development.

Liu Jianwei introduced that the global shipment volume of AxeraNeurons AI Processors in the AIoT sector has ranked among the top. The M76H series automotive products can also perfectly support BEV multi-task models in intelligent driving applications. In the smart city sector, the AX650 series products have achieved accurate scene understanding. Enterprises can more efficiently and precisely fulfill complex demands such as text-to-image search, text-to-image generation and AI Agent, truly realizing Inclusive AI.

As large models continue to penetrate all walks of life, the demand for computing power in social production and daily life will further increase. More economical, eco-friendly and efficient AI processors will become the core engine supporting intelligent development. Adhering to leveraging its technological advantages and upholding the mission of "Inclusive AI, for a Better Life", Axera is committed to accelerating the arrival of the era of ubiquitous intelligence.
