Axera AX650N Won the "China IC Design Achievement Award - Popular IC Product Award - Annual Best AI Chip"

Axera Ranked in the "AspenCore 2023 China IC Design Fabless 100 Ranking - Top 10 AI Chip Companies"

As an annual grand event of China's IC design industry, this year's China IC Leadership Summit was themed "Innovation Drives the Future", gathering outstanding enterprise leaders and industry experts to bring new insights and predictions to the participants and audiences. As one of the most important technical awards in China's electronic industry, the annual China IC Design Achievement Awards Ceremony has become one of the most anticipated benchmark events in the industry. The award-winning list is jointly voted by electronic and IC design engineers in the AspenCore community and the AspenCore analyst team. This award is a double recognition from the industry for Axera's continuous innovative R&D and promotion of market application implementation in the AI chip field.

AX650N is another intelligent vision chip with both high computing power and high energy efficiency ratio launched by Axera following the AX620 and AX630 series. 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 current enterprises' computing power demand for high-performance applications. The combination of high performance and rich interfaces also makes AX650N play an important role in the video conference field, and its excellent intelligent analysis capability in dense scenarios makes AX650N naturally suitable for smart city, intelligent transportation and other fields. It easily meets customers' core demands of "all-weather operation" and "clear imaging", and realizes greater value for them.

As a company engaged in the R&D of artificial intelligence visual perception chips and the construction of basic computing power platforms, Axera has successfully independently developed and mass-produced three generations of multiple intelligent vision chips for edge and end sides, all of which have the advantages of low power consumption and excellent image processing capabilities.

Axera owns two core self-developed technologies: mixed-precision NPU and Axera Smart Vision® AI-ISP. It is also the first company in the industry to apply both technologies to chip products and achieve commercial implementation.

In the future, Axera will continue to realize the rapid implementation of the latest technologies based on the vertical integration of algorithms, chips and products, strive to build world-leading intelligent vision chips, drive industrial development, and see a more wonderful world with vision!
