Avnet Silica announces new franchise agreement with DEEPX
Avnet Silica has announced its new franchise agreement with DEEPX, a South Korea-based hardware and software manufacturer specialising in highly efficient, powerful artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor technology.
As engineers look to deploy more sophisticated AI workloads at the Edge, they face the critical challenge of delivering high-performance intelligence within strict power and thermal limits. To solve this dilemma, they require access to scalable hardware solutions that bridge the gap between low-power microcontrollers and energy-intensive GPUs.
This new partnership bolsters Avnet Silica’s AI offering and addresses growing customer demand for high-performance, ultra-low-power AI solutions designed for the Edge. Customers across the EMEA region can now access DEEPX’s innovative solutions, which are created for intensive next-generation embedded applications such as smart city infrastructure, autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs), machine vision, smart factories, and autonomous vehicles.
“We are continually focused on helping our customers bridge the gap between high-performance AI demands and the realities of constrained power budgets at the Edge,” commented Michaël Uyttersprot, Manager System Solutions, AI/ML & Vision System Solutions at Avnet Silica. “DEEPX delivers the essential NPU architecture and efficiency required to deploy sophisticated models in power- and thermal-sensitive environments, significantly enhancing the options across our existing linecard.”
Tim Park, Strategy Marketing Director at DEEPX, added: “DEEPX aims to build ultra-low-power AI infrastructure that enables intelligence anywhere in the world. Our partnership with Avnet Silica will be a significant catalyst in expanding DEEPX’s high-performance, power-efficient AI semiconductors across global markets. Together, our combined supply chain reliability and proven technologies will empower more customers to adopt AI as a practical and scalable infrastructure.”
