Overview
The first product of Quickchip is an 8051 compatible embedded processor core that achieves six times the performance of a standard 8051 micro controller. While a standard 8051 micro controller takes 12 clock cycless for a machine cycle the QUIC_8051 only takes two.
For an efficient debugging, a QUIC_8051 based FPGA can be connected to a standard 8051 In-Circuit Emulator. Unlike other embedded controller cores that come along with an on-chip debug module with limited functionality, a slow communication channel, and additional FPGA resource usage, QUIC_8051 based FPGA designs can be debugged with the high-level feature set and the comfort of an In-Circuit Emulator. No on-chip debug module exhibits such features an In-Circuit Emulator does like code coverage and performance analysis.

Key features
- QUIC_8051 is an 8051 compatible processor core for FPGA implementation.
- It is available in the form of EDIF net lists for different FPGA families. The core consists of:
- CPU
- Registers
- RAM (256 Byte)
- Timer 0, 1, and 2
- UART
- Interrupt Controller
- Port 2
- QUIC_8051 is compatible to the original 8051 micro controller that was designed by Intel in 1979. However, it is not identical. The main difference is the fact that QUIC_8051 executes the instructions six times faster than the original 8051 when both controllers are clocked at the same frequency. The peripherals, however, are not speeded up.

Announcing Arm AGI CPU: The silicon foundation for the agentic AI cloud era
For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.
ChiPy®: Bridge Neural Networks and C++ on Silicon — Full Inference Pipelines with Zero CPU Round-Trips
The ChiPy DSL is Quadric's Python framework for building complete on-chip pipelines. Using YOLOX-M as a case study, we show how backbone inference, box decoding, and NMS run entirely on the Chimera GPNPU — no host CPU intervention, no DDR round-trips, just Python compiled to silicon.
Unleashing Leading On-Device AI Performance and Efficiency with New Arm C1 CPU Cluster
As part of the new Arm Lumex compute subsystem (CSS) platform, the Arm C1 CPU cluster – the first built on the Armv9.3 architecture – is the next evolution of our highest performing CPU cluster for consumer devices, designed to unleash the full potential of on-device AI and elevate the user experience.
