[{"type":"text","content":"AI/ML Engines in Series 3 devices boost performance by more than 100x\nNew Simplicity Studio 6 SDK Opens Development Environment and Opens Developers to Series 3\nAUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At their fourth annual Works With Developers Conference, Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) today announced their next-generation Series 3 platform, purpose-built for embedded IoT devices. With a move to the 22 nanometer (nm) process node, new Silicon Labs Series 3 devices will be designed to offer industry-leading compute, wireless performance, and energy efficiency with the highest levels of IoT security architected to the silicon. To help developers and device manufacturers streamline and accelerate product designs, Silicon Labs also announced the next version of their developer tool suite, Simplicity Studio. With support for Silicon Labs' entire portfolio, including Series 3, Simplicity Studio 6 will allow developers to utilize some of the most favored integrated development environments (IDEs) on the market, while giving developers the latest tools to support their continued development on Series 2 as well as Series 3.\n\n \n \n\n \n\"Our Series 3 platform is built for a more connected world that demands development flexibility and that more intelligence be pushed to the edge,\" said Silicon Labs CEO Matt Johnson. \"Series 3 not only meets the needs of developers and device manufacturers today but is built to meet their needs for the next decade.\"\nSeries 3 Platform Brings New Performance Capabilities, Efficiencies, and Diversified Supply ChainThe initial Series 1 and current-gen Series 2 platforms continue to be successful in helping to scale the IoT, connect more and more devices, and open up new applications. In large part, this is because they formed a platform with many commonalities that developers could leverage, and Series 3 follows in the same mold.\nSeries 3 devices will be able to answer the challenges that the continued acceleration of IoT poses: demands for more processing power at far-edge devices across all IoT applications in key areas including, but not limited to, smart cities and civil infrastructure, commercial buildings, retail and warehouses, smart factories and Industry 4.0, smart homes, personal and clinical healthcare, and the demand for increasingly portable, secure, compute-intensive applications.
