Custom SoCs give system architects the flexibility to differentiate through the use of customer-specific intellectual property, to integrate diverse functions into a single die or package and to optimize those functions to achieve the best size, power, and cost. Solution SoCs kick it up a notch by considering the design challenge holistically and delivering a complete solution that best addresses the system need in both hardware and software, allowing the designer to focus on the most highly differentiating aspects of their work.
Automotive applications require the combination of an accurate analysis of a complex external environment and quick decision-making for the safety of pedestrians, other road users, and the vehicle driver and passengers. This means advanced sensor fusion, leading-edge, highly differentiated analysis systems, and an immersive information system for the driver. Automotive architects can use Socionext's Custom Solution SoCs to aggregate sensor inputs, integrate high-performance compute with customer-proprietary AI accelerators, and build display subsystems, all within automotive safety, size, power, and cost constraints.
In the Data Center, the workload requirements of generative artificial intelligence are forcing an architectural revolution. Compute resource requirements are growing and becoming increasingly heterogeneous, and memory and storage hierarchies are flattening to reduce latency. Socionext's custom Solution SoCs allow architects to integrate differentiating IP optimized for the target applications and, therefore, meet the performance requirements cost-effectively and within stringent power constraints.
Smart devices bring the internet to the edge and the edge to the internet. They support the production and consumption of streaming video and audio. They assist in understanding their environment through artificial intelligence. They must do all this on a power budget of milliwatts in devices that weigh tens of ounces. Socionext's custom Solution SoCs can be crafted by the application architect to meet the exact performance, power, and size needs of the Smart Device.
Chiplets allow the integration, at the package level, of compute subsystems in the most advanced process node for the best possible performance with application-specific accelerators for AI, 5G/6G communications, and other applications through implementation in custom logic or FPGA. Socionext is developing chiplet-based Solution SoCs to address the most demanding applications in the Automotive, Data Center, and Smart Devices segments.
