Tenstorrent Partners with LG to Build AI and RISC-V Chiplets for Smart TVs of the Future

prnewswire | June 05, 2023 | Read time : 01:52 min

Tenstorrent and LG Electronics Inc. (LG) are pleased to announce that they are collaborating to build a new generation of RISC-V, AI, and video codec chiplets to potentially power LG's premium TV and automotive products of the future and Tenstorrent's data center products.

Through this collaboration, LG, a global leader in the production of innovative consumer electronics and home appliances, will receive from Tenstorrent artificial intelligence and RISC-V CPU technology that is ideally suited to drive AI-enhanced features and high-performance computing in LG's future premium TV's, high-performance automotive chips and other smart products.

Tenstorrent's innovative and industry-leading AI and RISC-V CPU technology will enrich LG's portfolio of technology and eventually enable LG to differentiate their chip solutions in their competitive market segments. Led by industry veteran and legendary CPU architect CEO Jim Keller, Tenstorrent is the only company with the right technology that enables LG to take control of their own silicon roadmaps.

LG's video codec technology has consistently been a crucial part of the TV SoCs that have been employed in premium TVs for more than 10 years. Tenstorrent and LG will collaborate at chiplet-level and/or IP-level to deliver video processing capability into Tenstorrent's future data center products. Video is responsible for 65% of all internet data volume and increasing rapidly (in 2022, Sandvine).

"It is increasingly important for industry leaders to own their silicon future," said Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent. "LG is a giant in our industry, and this collaboration will strengthen their portfolio of technologies for their future chip solutions, providing greater flexibility to differentiate their products."

"This collaboration is just a beginning. Tenstorrent's market leading AI and RISC-V CPU technologies will strengthen SoC competitiveness of LG's future products while our long-time proven video codec technology will help Tenstorrent take control of data center high-performance processor markets," said Byoung-hoon Kim, CTO of LG. "Chiplets will be tested through this collaboration to see whether they can become a technology platform of collaboration. Tenstorrent and LG will share technology roadmaps and keep extending the scope of collaboration."

UST and Barbara Join Forces to Deploy AI across Edge Infrastructure

UST | September 15, 2023

UST strives to provide comprehensive digital solutions with enhanced customization and support capabilities. Currently, 90% of the data generated at edge data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, thereby diminishing its value. The agreement equips Barbara for long-term success by collaborating with UST to tackle the challenges of digital transformation while building a robust partner ecosystem. UST, a prominent company for digital transformation solutions, has entered into a partnership with Barbara to facilitate private, secure, real-time digital transformation by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. Together, UST and Barbara will be able to leverage data generated at the 'Edge' by various IoT devices, industrial facilities, and equipment machinery. Currently, 90% of this data cannot be processed seamlessly in real-time, devaluing it. This collaboration will enable UST to provide customers with access to a premier orchestration platform capable of deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications, devices, and AI at the edge at scale. AI at the edge refers to the deployment of artificial intelligence in an edge computing environment, where computation takes place closer to the source than in a central cloud facility or isolated data center. Head of Smart Data & AI, Spain and South America at UST, Ignacio Marrero, stated, For UST, this agreement will allow us to expand our capacity to develop AI solutions while also extending reach to devices on the edge. By collaborating with Barbara, we will be able to deploy our agile strategy for the training and deployment of AI models.

Mouser Electronics Partners with Atmosic to Accelerate the Growth of Sustainable IoT Devices

Businesswire | June 29, 2023

Today Atmosic Technologies, an innovator in wireless energy harvesting platforms for the Internet of Things (IoT), and Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, announced a distribution partnership. Mouser will stock Atmosic’s portfolio of extremely low-power and energy-harvesting wireless Bluetooth® system-on-chips (SoCs) and evaluation kits. Atmosic’s portfolio is designed with sustainability in mind, enabling developers to create connected devices that can use a single battery for a product’s entire lifespan; in some cases, these devices can even operate without any batteries. This extended battery life and battery-free operation is possible since Atmosic’s SoCs have the industry’s lowest power consumption. Additionally, Atmosic offers wireless solutions that can harvest energy from light, motion, thermal, and radio frequency (RF) sources. These energy harvesting solutions also support the new AirFuelRF™ wireless power specification, which uses RF technology to allow multiple devices to be charged and/or powered at the same time and from a distance. “This distribution partnership is a big step forward for us to make our products more readily available, and thus make it easier for brands to bring to market sustainable wireless IoT products,” said Mike Fortin, Senior Vice President of Sales at Atmosic. “Mouser’s strong commitment to reducing their impact on the environment aligns well with our mission of reducing battery waste, so we look forward to working together to promote a greener IoT.” Initially, Mouser’s inventory and website will feature Atmosic’s evaluation kits, as well as the ATM2 and ATM3 series of SoCs, with additional products to be introduced later in 2023. The company’s ATM2 and ATM3 SoCs combine an ultra-low power Bluetooth LE with an integrated power management unit. The ATM3 also adds intelligent management of energy harvesting sources to improve its efficiency and extend battery life or enable battery-free operation. “Many well-known, tier-one consumer brands are already in high-volume production with Atmosic’s products, which is a testament to their commitments to sustainability and is also a great sign for designers looking to develop their own eco-friendly products,” said Andy Kerr, Vice President of Supplier Management at Mouser. “With Atmosic products now in stock at Mouser, IoT product developers around the world have immediate access to their extremely low-power wireless portfolio.” Billions of batteries are being thrown away every year as the market for connected devices continues to grow. Atmosic’s innovative portfolio is working to solve this battery waste issue and help companies meet their sustainability goals. In addition to the environmental benefits of Atmosic’s solutions, extending battery life—or removing the need for batteries entirely—reduces maintenance time and costs for end-users. About Atmosic Technologies Atmosic™ Technologies is an innovative fabless semiconductor company, designing ultra-low power wireless and energy harvesting solutions to dramatically reduce and disrupt device dependency on batteries, aiming to deliver forever battery life and the battery-free connected Internet of Things. The company’s products enable the IoT device ecosystem—designers and manufacturers, as well as end users and those responsible for deployments—to dramatically lower costs and efforts associated with maintaining the growing Internet of Things in Personal, Home, Auto, Healthcare, Industrial, Enterprise and Smart Cities segments. In addition to these tangible business advantages, Atmosic aims to reduce ecological impacts with its vision of dramatically reducing battery consumption in the Internet of Things.
