Overview

The Prodigy is the first Universal Processor combining General Purpose Processors, High Performance Computng (HPC), Artficial Intelligence (AI), Deep Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Bio AI, and other AI disciplines with a single chip. With the tremendous growth of the AI chipset market for edge inference, Tachyum TPU (Tachyum Processing Unit) is positoned to expand the unique value propositon of its Tachyum Prodigy based training to its TPU AI Inference Engine, as a licensable core. That will allow IoT and Edge developers take full advantage of Tachyum Prodigy datacenter trained AI to make IoT/Edge devices intelligent through TPU IP.

Benchmarking an NPU at Scale

With every SDK release, Quadric automatically recompiles and re-profiles the entire model zoo across a broad sweep of hardware configurations. The results land in DevStudio for any SoC architect to explore — no sales call, no handpicked numbers.

Your NPU Learned to Listen

Whisper runs end-to-end on Chimera. Encoder and decoder compiled as native GPNPU kernels, INT4 weights, FP16 attention, top-1 token match against the float32 reference. Scales to four cores with a flag, no recompile.

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.
