Tight PPA constraints are only one reason to make sure an NPU is optimized; workload representation is another consideration.

Abstract: Neural processing units (NPUs) have become essential in modern client and edge platforms, offering unparalleled efficiency by delivering high throughput at low power. This is critical to ...

Abstract: We propose an embedded Neural Processing Unit (NPU) architecture for deep learning inference to address the stringent energy, area, and cost requirements of edge AI. This heterogeneous ...

MIPS, now part of GlobalFoundries, builds on its legacy of high-performance, power-efficient processor cores. One of the latest is the MIPS S8200 neural processing unit (NPU) IP that’s built on a RISC ...

STMicroelectronics (STM) has underperformed peers due to customer exposures, share loss in MCUs, and sector-wide inventory corrections and price pressure, with recovery likely delayed until 2H’26. STM ...

We test normal kernels on A3 384 SuperPOD. And we follow the DeepSeek-V3/R1 pretraining setting (4096 tokens per batch, 7168 hidden, top-8 experts, INT8 dispatching and BF16 combining).

Smartphone AI is moving off the cloud and onto the device itself. With the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite Gen 5 chips in November, Qualcomm has made that shift very clear. The ...

Oversonic Robotics, an Italian company specializing in cognitive humanoid machines, has signed an agreement with STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE: STM) to integrate custom-built humanoid robots into the ...
