Recently, the "Embark on a Journey to the World · 2023 Jiazzi Gravity × New Intelligent Era" Summit was successfully held in Shanghai. To recognize companies and institutions that have made outstanding achievements in the AI field, Jiazzi Guangnian released the "Star 20 Innovative Enterprises" series of lists at the summit, honoring the outstanding contributors among innovative enterprises in the era of AIGC. Relying on its advanced technological R&D and product application implementation in the field of artificial intelligence chips, Axera was selected into the list of "Star 20: 2023 China AI Computing Power Layer Innovative Enterprises".

The selection criteria for the "Star 20 Innovative Enterprises" list include 5 core elements: brand strength, core products, financing capacity, R&D strength and commercialization capability, covering a total of 16 sub-dimensions. Since its establishment, relying on two self-developed core technologies: mixed-precision NPU and Axera Smart Vision® AI-ISP, Axera has successfully launched three generations of multiple intelligent vision chips for edge and end-side applications, forming a serialized product matrix covering high, medium and low-end markets. It has also achieved mass production implementation and application expansion to varying degrees in multiple fields such as smart city, intelligent transportation and smart consumption.

At present, the global artificial intelligence industry is entering a new stage of development. The new generation of artificial intelligence technology has become a hot topic nowadays, and continues to explore new possibilities in the fields of speech, image, video and natural language processing. Artificial intelligence technology is evolving from AI 1.0 to AI 2.0, which is led by large models and multimodal generative AI technologies.

As a company engaged in the R&D of artificial intelligence visual perception chips and the construction of basic computing power platforms, all series of Axera's chip products have the advantages of high performance, low power consumption and excellent image processing capabilities. The newly launched third-generation intelligent chip AX650N is a SoC chip with both high computing power and high energy efficiency ratio. AX650N integrates an octa-core A55 CPU, a high-performance NPU with computing power of 43.2TOPs@INT4 or 10.8TOPs@INT8, an ISP supporting 8K@30fps, and a VPU with H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding capabilities. The high computing power NPU ensures that AX650N can better empower the edge and end sides, meeting the industry's current computing power demand for high-performance applications.

In the future, Axera will continue to deepen R&D in the artificial intelligence field, continuously inject new vitality into the industry, accelerate the mass production implementation and industrial application of AI visual perception chips on the edge and end sides, and actively explore broader market development space. We will forge chips with sincerity, and change the world with vision.
