Microchip Technology Launches RISC-V Multi-Core 64-Bit Microprocessors

Real-time, compute intensive applications such as fully adaptive noise cancellation, voice separation and Machine Learning (ML) are pushing the boundaries of embedded processing requirements, demanding more power-efficiency, hardware-level security and high reliability at the edge. With the launch of its PIC64 portfolio, Microchip Technology expanded its computing range to meet this rising demands.

During its Snapdragon Summit event Qualcomm unveiled the latest S7 and S7 Pro Gen1 Sound platforms, which will soon power a new generation of advanced audio products. The new platforms offer five times the compute power, three times the DSP processing power, and almost 100 times on-device AI processing power compared to the previous generation. A real differentiator is the use of micro-power Wi-Fi to extend wireless audio range and support for up to 192kHz lossless music quality in the S7 Pro.

CEVA announced its enhanced NeuPro-M NPU family, directly addressing the processing needs of the next era of Generative AI with industry-leading performance and power efficiency for any AI inferencing workload, from cloud to the edge. The new NeuPro-M processor family delivers an industry leading 350 TOPS/Watt to bring the power of generative AI to any application, including for consumer and mobile markets, with exceptional cost and power efficiency.
