Heterogeneous NPU Data Movement Tax: Intel's Own Slides Tell the Story
At Quadric, we have long argued that heterogeneous NPU designs — those that stitch together multiple specialized fixed-function engines — carry an unavoidable hidden cost: data has to move. A lot. And data movement burns power, adds latency, and creates silicon-area overhead that scales with every new generation of AI models. Now, Intel has made that case for us.
The Upcoming NPU Shakeout
The IP industry is no stranger to boom and bust cycles, and it looks to be at the crest of another wave.
One Instruction Stream, Infinite Possibilities: The Cervell™ Approach to Reinventing the NPU
AI is evolving faster than the chips designed to run it. Models like large language transformers and generative networks are shifting rapidly–while silicon development cycles remain long and rigid. Traditional NPUs, built around proprietary instruction sets and opaque compilers, simply can’t keep up.
Legacy IP Providers Struggle to Solve the NPU Dilemna
Just bolting a matrix accelerator onto existing processor IP leads to long-term challenges.
