Arteris Selected by Axelera AI to Accelerate Computer Vision for Edge Devices

Arteris’ FlexNoC 5 interconnect IP delivers the high bandwidth, low latency, and scalability required to optimize Axelera AI's Europa platform

CAMPBELL, Calif. – October 23, 2025 – Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a leading provider of system IP for accelerating semiconductor creation in the AI era, today announced that Axelera AI, the leading provider of purpose-built artificial intelligence (AI) inference acceleration technology, has licensed Arteris’ FlexNoC 5 interconnect IP for use in developing their latest project, the Europa platform, expanding their product line from edge to the data center. The platform is designed to enable high performance in a power-efficient platform supporting everything from computer vision to complex generative AI models.

Axelera AI, developed the Europa platform to revolutionize AI by providing high-performance AI inference with custom-designed AI cores and efficient power management. The flexible architecture supports various AI frameworks and models for low latency and high throughput applications. As part of this effort, Axelera AI is utilizing Arteris’ FlexNoC 5 with physical awareness. This interconnect IP includes a graphical interface for designers to create, optimize and verify the network-on-chip architecture, enhancing the design process with advanced features and real-time feedback for managing complex interconnects.

"Our previous success with an Arteris product gave us the confidence to migrate to FlexNoC 5 for our high-performance AI inference products at the edge," said Jon Fergusson, vice president of silicon at Axelera AI. "The physical awareness capabilities, along with ultra-low power provided by FlexNoC, have been valuable in managing our large floorplan and meeting power, performance, and area objectives on time."

“We are pleased to be working with Axelera AI on enhancing edge AI solutions, including the efficient underlying data movement with high-performance and lowest energy consumption,” said Michal Siwinski, executive vice president, CPO and CMO of Arteris. “Axelera AI’s ongoing use of Arteris technology underscores our dedication to delivering innovative system IP that enhance machine learning capabilities and support the growth of advanced AI computing applications from the data center to the edge.”

Large capacity data movement is a critical core competency in generative AI SoC performance. FlexNoC 5 can efficiently handle large datasets and complex AI models. Its integrated physical awareness technology enables engineering teams to streamline their design process while simultaneously reducing area and power consumption, which is critical for AI applications.
