About the category

What it is and what it is for

This is about the building blocks beneath finished devices: systems-on-chip with a built-in AI unit (NPU), AI accelerator chips and licensable processor cores, for example based on RISC-V. They matter if you are developing your own device for series production or adding AI to existing electronics. Supply usually runs through distributors or directly as part of a development partnership.

Typical uses in business

Developing your own camera, sensor or control devices with AI for series production.
Adding on-device speech or image recognition to existing products.
Vehicle and robotics electronics with real-time AI.
Designing your own chips with licensed processor cores.

What businesses should check before buying

AI performance relative to power draw and heat dissipation.
Software maturity: compiler, supported model formats, drivers, Linux support.
Long-term availability and minimum order quantities.
Licence terms for IP, plus export rules and qualification, for example for automotive.

Integration & effortEffort: high

Chips and chip IP are building blocks for development projects: circuit board, firmware, drivers and adapting the models to the NPU are all part of it. It is common to start with the manufacturer’s evaluation or developer board before creating your own design. Chip IP also involves licence negotiation and chip design.
