➀ The modern automotive market's disruptions are affecting the supply chain, particularly Tier1 suppliers. ➁ The integration of AI in automotive systems is leading to more unified supplier platforms. ➃ DENSO's acquisition of Quadric's GPNPU license and co-development of in-vehicle semiconductors is a significant step in the semiconductor design game for DENSO.

1. Quadric introduces a new accelerator architecture, Chimera, which supports a wide range of applications including signal processing and GenAI, offering up to 864 TOPs. 2. The Chimera approach differs from traditional accelerators by using a common pipeline for all instruction types, simplifying software development and handling complex AI models more efficiently. 3. Quadric's platforms, ranging from QC Nano to QC Ultra, are supported by a mature Chimera SDK, allowing for easy integration of various AI models without extensive tuning.

➀ Denso partners with Quadric to develop a neural processing unit (NPU) for automotive applications; ➁ Denso will acquire the IP core license for Quadric's Chimera GPNPU and co-develop IP for in-vehicle semiconductors; ➂ The Chimera GPNPU aims to provide lower power consumption than alternative GPU designs.

1. Quadric's Chimera QC GPNPUs offer multi-core cluster options for over 100TOPS, suitable for automotive AI with safety enhancements. 2. UltraRAM's commercialization received £1.1m from Innovate UK. 3. Researchers at Oxford demonstrated a chip-scale trapped-ion quantum logic IC with high fidelity, addressing scalability issues in quantum computing.

1. Quadric introduces the third generation of general-purpose neural processing units (GPNPUs) with pre-integrated clusters of two, four, or eight cores, delivering up to 108 TOPS. 2. The QC series includes single-core and multi-core cluster versions, optimized for generative AI and safety-enhanced for automotive applications. 3. The QC-M family scales to support small to high-compute applications, providing up to 864 TOPS for Level 4 central ADAS applications.
