The "China Chip" selection is an industry authoritative selection activity organized by the China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute under the guidance of the Ministry of GX. It is one of the most influential and authoritative industry conferences in the field of integrated circuits in China. It aims to build a centralized display platform for the excellent products of Chinese integrated circuit enterprises, build a high-end public brand of China‘s integrated circuit industry, and promote the development of China‘s integrated circuit industry. Among them, the Outstanding Technology Innovation Product Award is mainly aimed at single new products that have been successfully developed in the past two years, have strong technological innovation, have independent intellectual property rights, and have benefits for improving the independent supply chain.

    Aixin Yuanzhi won this award. Its core advantage is that the two self-developed technologies of hybrid precision NPU and Aixin Zhimou AI-ISP have well solved the balance between power consumption and computing power faced by edge side and end side smart chips, and achieved beyond the traditional imaging effect, which brings the breakthrough advantage of AX620A chip, and achieves the goal of continuous assistance for the development of "Chinese chip" industry.

    Specifically, the award-winning product AX620A is the second-generation self-developed edge-side smart chip of Aixin Yuanzhi, which is equipped with quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU and 14.4TOPs@INT4 or 3.6TOPs@INT8 NPU, with the characteristics of fast wake-up and low power consumption, can meet the application requirements of AI cameras, AI industrial cameras, intelligent recognition terminals and other scenarios, and maintain a leading edge in many edge-side and end-side chips.

    It is worth mentioning that based on the AX620A chip, Aixin Yuanzhi and its ecological partners launched the development board "Aixin Pai" AXera-Pi for the open source ecological community, which can achieve high-quality image effects such as nightscape enhancement, and has rich operator support, which can create a better development experience for developers, and help AI to quickly land in the end and edge scenes. At the same time, Aixin Yuanzhi has synchronously built an open source ecological community and launched corresponding open source software projects for developers to use, thus improving the efficiency of the platform and constantly enriching the end-to-end AI algorithm ecology. At present, the open source ecological construction of Aixin Yuanzhi is still being further improved and will play an important role in enabling AI to accelerate its development in the future.

    As an AI visual perception chip research and development and basic computing platform company, Aixin Yuanzhi has set up a full-function team from chip design, research and development to production. The core members have participated in the design and production of more than 10 chips, and have rich experience in product planning and product landing. Since its establishment three years ago, the company has successfully developed and mass-produced more than three generations of end-side and edge-side smart vision chips, and has achieved commercial landing in three major fields: smart city, smart consumption and smart transportation.

    Rapid self-research and mass production of chips is the key to support the rapid development of the intelligent economy and to build a strategic, basic and pilot industry. It is also the cornerstone of further breakthroughs in intelligent applications and large-scale and universal implementation, which is of great significance to the development of national science and technology. The previous "China Core" excellent product solicitation activities have focused on the development trend of domestic leading integrated circuit products and technologies. The AX620A chip won this honor, which is also the result of Aixin Yuanzhi‘s long-term independent innovation. In the future, Aixin Yuanzhi will continue to explore the technological innovation of visual intelligence chips, provide more flexible and convenient deployment plans and chip products with wide application value, and work with all parties in the industry to explore the future of edge intelligence with a more complete and open software and hardware ecosystem.
