Ambarella Expands N1 Edge GenAI Family With SoC Targeted at On-Premise Multi-Channel VLM and NN Processing in Under 20 Watts

Quick Summary:

New AI SoC is Ideal for On-Premise AI Boxes, Autonomous Robotics and Smart City Security; Brings High-Performance GenAI to Power- and Cost-Constrained Edge AI ApplicationsSANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan.07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc.(NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, today announced during CES the N1-655 edge GenAI system-on-chip (SoC), which provides on-chip decode of 12x simultaneous 1080p30 video streams, while concurrently processing that video and running a hybrid of multiple, multimodal vision-language models (VLMs) and traditional CNNs.

"The N1-655 continues Ambarella’s industry-leading levels of AI performance per watt, this time for AMRs and on-premise AI box applications that require the latest edge GenAI features while keeping power consumption under 20 watts,” said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella.

"We tailored this new SoC to run faster, while fine-tuning the most popular LLMs and VLMs to make them even smaller, eliminating the need for high-bandwidth and cost-intensive cloud processing in this class of applications.” There is a trend toward doing more GenAI processing at the edge, due to cloud-based processing’s bandwidth cost, ongoing service fees and high power usage, along with data security and privacy concerns.
