XMOS
|
In 2005, a small team assembled to create a fast and flexible microcontroller that would enable designers to respond quickly to diversifying market demand. The first (XS1) and second (xcore-200) generation processors put unprecedented I/O capability (available through software for the first time) alongside significant DSP and controlprocessing – establishing XMOS as a name in the audio sector.The vision quickly shifted towards AI. Caught between two very different technical and commercial models, Graphcore was formed to focus on server-side AI, and XMOS continued the quest towards low-cost embedded intelligence (edge-AI). Most recently XMOS enabled voice to become mainstream, releasing the XVF3510 – a disruptive high-performance, low cost far-field 2-mic voice interface. This was followed up with xcore.ai – a new crossover processor for the AIoT that brings AI, DSP, control and I/O together in a single device. | $16M / Series B / Sep 06, 2007 | |
