*This press release contains information announced by Winbond.
Winbond Electronics Co., Ltd., a leading global supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, today announced the addition of Winbond to the latest SoC (System-on-Chip) KL720 launched in August by artificial intelligence (AI) pioneer Kneron. Announced that 1Gbit LPDDR3 DRAM is adopted.
After the launch of the KL520, a breakthrough SoC that combines proprietary software and hardware technologies to achieve extremely high AI performance while maintaining low power consumption, Kneron has continued to develop AI processor chips. The market is growing rapidly. Used in battery-powered applications such as smart locks and drones, the KL520 is equipped with Winbond's 512Mbit LPDDR2.
Kneron's latest SoC, the KL720, delivers even higher processing power of 1.4 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) and industry-leading power efficiency of 0.9 TOPS/W, delivering new low power consumption for AI and machine learning technologies. Provides power and high performance applications.
Winbond's LPDDR3 DRAM comes as KGD (Known Good Die) and is packaged with KL720's new Kneron NPU (Neural Processing Unit/Artificial Intelligence Specific Processor). Supporting KL720's high throughput and performance efficiency, Winbond's LPDDR3 DRAM provides a maximum bandwidth of 8.5 Gbytes/s and operates on dual 1.2V/1.8V power supplies, as well as deep power-down mode and clock stop functions. It has power saving features such as
New in KL720: Simultaneous Video and Audio Processing
Kneron's KL720 sets a new performance standard in AI applications, processing video from 4K, full HD or 3D sensors in real time to support AI applications such as facial recognition in security cameras and gesture control in public facilities. . It can also perform natural language processing, enabling intuitive speech recognition and eliminating the need for keyword pre-configuration. The performance of 1.4 TOPS is fast enough for simultaneous real-time video and natural language processing.
Kneron chose Winbond LPDDR3 for the KL720, determined to set a new standard for edge AI performance. “Kneron has thoroughly evaluated the DRAM products currently on the market,” said Albert Liu, Founder and CEO of Kneron. It is clear that it offers the best combination of high bandwidth and low power consumption for , but the decisive factor as well as the performance of the silicon is the optimization of the interface between the Company NPU and DRAM. We are delighted that the relationship that started with the KL520 will continue now and in the future in the development of next-generation products following the KL720.” I'm here.
“Kneron has set a new benchmark for performance and efficiency with the KL720, which no other chipmaker, including some of the industry giants, will be able to match. We are proud and look forward to bringing to market a new generation of AI-enabled products based on Winbond's DRAM-powered KL720," said Winbond.
