vision NN workloads, as first samples delivered to lead customers
AImotive, the world-leading supplier of scalable automated driving technologies
and Nextchip Co., Ltd., a dedicated automotive vision technology company, today
announced that AImotive has successfully demonstrated automotive NN (Neural
Network) vision applications executing at up to 98% efficiency on the
aiWare3P(TM) NPU (Neural Network Processor Unit) used on Nextchip's latest
Apache5 IEP (Imaging Edge Processor). Also featuring an advanced ISP supporting
imaging sensors up to 5.7Mpixel resolution, quad-core Arm A53 CPU and small

Thanks to rapid bring-up of all key functions on Apache5, complemented by
aiWare Studio's unique offline NN optimization tools, AImotive and Nextchip
were able to demonstrate to lead customers the Apache5 IEP executing demanding
automotive AI applications using the aiWare NPU within weeks of receiving first
samples. These confirm that Apache5's aiWare3P 1.6 TOPS NPU can deliver up to
98% sustained real-time efficiency for a wide range of NN workloads. Only
minimal optimization effort was required, which was completed prior to receipt
of the first devices.
"We are excited that thanks to the close collaboration between Nextchip and
AImotive, we have been able to demonstrate Apache5 executing compelling
automotive AI applications with exceptional efficiency within weeks of
receiving first samples," said Young Jun Yoo, CMO at Nextchip.
"With Apache5 we have demonstrated that we can deliver 2x to 3x higher CNN
performance for the same claimed TOPS of other NPUs," said Marton Feher, senior
vice-president hardware engineering for AImotive. "Furthermore, our aiWare
Studio SDK enabled our aiDrive team to bring up multiple well-optimized NNs
within days of receiving Apache5 silicon."
Nextchip has commenced shipping samples of Apache5 to lead customers, and is
now accepting production enquiries.
