(NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, today announced during CES the CV7 edge AI vision system-on-chip (SoC), which is optimized for a wide range of AI perception applications. Examples include advanced, AI-based 8K consumer products (e.g., action and 360-degree cameras), multi-imager enterprise security cameras, robotics (e.g. aerial drones), industrial automation and high-performance video conferencing devices. The CV7 is also ideal for multi-stream automotive designs—especially those running CNNs and transformer-based networks at the edge—such as AI vision gateways and hubs in fleet video telematics, 360-degree surround-view and video-recording applications, and passive driver assistance systems (ADAS). These applications can all leverage the CV7 for its simultaneous processing of multiple video streams up to 8Kp60 and exceptional image quality, in combination with high-performance edge AI and low power consumption. “Joining our wide portfolio of edge AI SoCs, with more than 39 million shipped to date, the CV7 enables consumer and enterprise security camera developers to deliver the most advanced imaging features and the highest edge AI performance, for improved video analytics and higher image quality in their next-generation products,” said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. “Additionally, this new SoC’s extremely low power consumption reduces thermal-management requirements for smaller form factors and longer battery life across a broad range of AIoT applications, thanks to its 4nm process technology and Ambarella’s proprietary AI SoC architecture, which is purpose built for the edge.” Compared to its predecessor, the CV7 consumes 20% less power, thanks in part to Samsung’s 4nm process technology, which is Ambarella’s first on this node. The CV7 is also architected using Ambarella’s algorithm-first design philosophy to efficiently run all processing tasks simultaneously, with extremely high performance and low power consumption—continuing the company’s leadership position for the industry’s best AI performance per watt. In contrast to competing multi-chip solutions, the C...
