Companies' combined expertise accelerates AI perception-based product design and innovation SANTA CLARA, Calif., and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, and eInfochips, an Arrow Electronics company and a leading provider of product engineering services, today announced a comprehensive relationship to expand design and development services for the next generation of AI camera products based on Ambarella's industry-leading CVflow edge AI SoC platform. This relationship leverages eInfochips' extensive engineering experience and resources to support the rapid growth of AI IoT applications, including perception for the robotics, access control, commercial, security, video conferencing and health care markets. "Globally, there was an installed base of about 8.4 billion IoT end point devices at the end of 2021, with deep-learning processors in the early stage of penetrating this rapidly growing market," stated Lian Jye Su, ABI Research's research director for AI. "The combination of Ambarella's CVflow AI processor families with eInfochips' significant perception design expertise in a wide variety of IoT applications will help drive the rapid AI growth in this market. This growth in AI IoT includes computer vision designs requiring the expertise that eInfochips can provide for imaging, hardware and software development.

Ready or not, autonomous driving car features are coming. Starting with model year 2024, Nvidia's ( NVDA -2.10%) DRIVE Orin chip and sensor system will be available for use among automakers. But there are other ways to play the development of vehicle autonomy. One of them is small chip designer Ambarella ( AMBA -2.35%). After more than doubling its stock price over the last three years (which includes the recent 60%-plus sell-off from all-time highs), Ambarella is putting up solid numbers as its computer vision chips find their way into more automaker technology designs.

This has been a brutal earnings season for investors who hold a lot of growth stocks. Markets are down, and Wall Street sentiment is shifting toward safer, more established businesses. Many of these growth stocks are issuing conservative outlooks for the fiscal year ahead, too, after several years of booming gains. It was still jarring to see Ambarella ( AMBA -6.21%) shares fall over 30% after the company reported solid fourth-quarter results. The company, which develops AI video processing tech in the autonomous driving and security markets, has some big markets it can target over the next few years.

Artificial intelligence (AI) services can help companies analyze data, optimize their businesses, craft targeted ad campaigns, and even pilot autonomous machines and vehicles. That ongoing shift could enable the global AI market to grow at a compound annual rate of 40.2% from 2021 to 2028, according to Grand View Research. But that secular trend can also be confusing, since too many companies rely on AI as a buzzword instead of a business model. So today, I'll simplify that search process for investors by highlighting three reliable tech companies that will likely benefit from the long-term growth of the AI market. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), the parent company of Google, generates most of its revenue from online ads.

The AI chip company, Ambarella, made the news at the CES 2022. The chip family is the latest addition to the CVflow family of scalable, power-efficient system-on-chips for the automobile sector. The chip, according to Ambarella, offers the most fantastic AI processing performance, with up to 500 eTOPS, a 42-fold improvement over Ambarella's previous automotive family. With up to 16 Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU cores, the CV3 boosts CPU performance by up to 30 times over the previous generation, making it ideal for autonomous vehicle (AV) software applications. Consequently, robust advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and L2 to Level 4 autonomous driving (AD) systems with higher degrees of environmental awareness for both driver seeing and machine perception in demanding lighting, weather, and driving situations have been developed.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an AI vision silicon company, today announced its new Artificial Intelligence Image Signal Processor (AISP). The company is showcasing this technology at its invitation-only event during CES 2022 in Las Vegas this week, running on its CV2 edge AI perception systems on chip (SoCs). Drawing on its 17 years of experience in ISP processing and best-in-class CVflow AI engine, Ambarella's new AI based ISP architecture uses neural networks to augment the image processing done by the hardware ISP integrated into its SoCs. This approach enables color imaging with low light at very low lux levels and minimal noise, a 10 to 100X improvement over state-of-the-art traditional ISPs, and new levels of high dynamic range (HDR) processing with more natural color reproduction and higher dynamic range. Initially demonstrated on the CV2 SoCs during CES this week, the new AISP will become available across Ambarella's entire CVflow SoC portfolio at resolutions up to 4K.

Santa Clara, California AI vision silicon company, Ambarella, Inc., is supplying its CV25AQ CVflow AI vision processor to Great Wall Motor Co. Ltd. for the WEY Mocha crossover SUV. The System on Chip (SoC) provides a variety of simultaneous, multi-camera channel combinations for recording and/or in-cabin sensing, with the entire system meeting Euro NCAP 2025 safety standards. The automotive-qualified AEC-Q100 Grade 2 Ambarella CV25AQ will serve as part of Great Wall's "Coffee Intelligence" AI driving platform, which comprises Intelligent Cockpit Systems, Intelligent Drive, and Intelligent Automotive Electronic and Electrical Architecture Technology. WEY is Great Wall Motors' premium brand, named after company founder Wei Jianjun. "Ambarella and GWM have a strong history of successful collaboration, with several generations of vision systems already in production for a variety of car models," said Fermi Wang, CEO of Ambarella.

Ambarella has begun sampling a 10nm "CV28M" camera SoC for edge AI that runs Linux on dual 1GHz Cortex-A53 cores and offers CVflow CNN processing, a 320MP/s ISP, 4Kp30 encoding, and security features. Five years have passed since we covered a new Ambarella camera SoC, which is a shame since it's so much fun saying "Ambarella." Since the announcement of its HD-ready, Cortex-A9 based S2Lm, we have mentioned the company in passing for its part in a Linux- and Jetson-driven Teal One drone, which uses Ambarella's [email protected] ready, quad -A53 CV2. Now Ambarella has launched the CV28M, the latest in its CVflow family of AI-enabled computer vision processors. Like the other Ambarella SoCs, it is available with a Linux SDK and evaluation kit.

Chip designer Ambarella has announced a new computer vision chip for processing artificial intelligence at the edge of computer networks, like in smart cars and security cameras. The new CV28M camera system on chip (SoC) is the latest in the company's CVflow family. It combines advanced image processing, high-resolution video encoding, and computer vision processing in a single, low-power chip. Ambarella packed a lot of AI processing power into the chip to anticipate the way computer networks will evolve as everything gets connected to the internet. Since networks could become inundated with data traffic, self-driving cars, for example, will have to do their processing at the edge of the network, or in the car itself, rather than interacting heavily with datacenter processors.

Ambarella's products are used in a wide variety of human and computer vision applications, including video security, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), electronic mirror, drive recorder, driver/cabin monitoring, autonomous driving and robotic applications. Per a recent evaluation, an Ambarella computer vision (CV) system on chip (SoC) and PCB were run on the Cadence Clarity 3D Solver. Results of both simulations show that when there is no solid reference plane for high-speed signals, the Clarity 3D Solver identifies the Ambarella design defects and correct scattering parameter (S-parameter) response. For both simulations, the Clarity 3D Solver, a 3D electromagnetic solver using 32 CPUs, took just 29 hours to process the case with 202 ports running at 48 bits via a LPDDR4 interface on a geometrical combination of package and PCB layout design. "Ambarella continuously upgrades our system design methodologies to stay ahead of the competition," said Chan Lee, vice president of VLSI at Ambarella, Inc. "The speed, capacity and accuracy of the Cadence Clarity 3D Solver enable us to accelerate our design process and shorten our schedule. We expect that many of the likely challenges of our next-generation 5nm AI design project can be easily and quickly addressed with the Cadence Clarity 3D Solver."
