Can the start-up
DeepX be a competitor for us? Maybe not, but knowing the market environment can't harm. It reads very similar...

"SEONGNAM, South Korea--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--
DEEPX (CEO Kim Lok-won), an AI semiconductor startup based on
NPU (Neural Processing Unit) technology, will participate in the '2022 Embedded Vision Summit' held in Santa Clara, California for 4 days from May 16th. DEEPX will present a neural network computational processing solution, a comprehensive technology of hardware and software.
In this event, DEEPX will be introducing the DEEPX series (DX-L1, DX-L2, DX-M1, and DX-H1), an
SoC product line with the world's highest performance NPU in energy efficiency and processing performance that can compute cutting-edge AI algorithms with high AI accuracy.
The DEEPX series specializes in more efficiently processing DNN
algorithms for object recognition, face recognition, sound recognition, image classification, image enhancement, and more. The scalability of NPU technology can range from 0.1 TOPS for ultra-small sensors to tens of POPS for AI servers.
The DEEPX series, consisting of a total of 4 solutions of DX-L1, DX-L2, DX-M1, and DX-H1, will be launched sequentially from the
second half of this year to the first half of next year. These products will be delivered to more than 20 global customer companies.
At the exhibition, buyers will be able to see the performance of DEEPX’s FPGA-based NPU prototype through a live demonstration, and experience AI solutions for object detection, face recognition, image classification, and more first-hand should they visit the booth.
Meanwhile, DEEPX is a startup that has entered the rapidly growing AI semiconductor market and researched and developed source technology for semiconductors with the world's highest power performance ratio. DEEPX boasts implementation at the highest levels globally in 3 important technology categories of the AI semiconductor field: support for the latest AI algorithms, the world best AI accuracy, and
the world’s highest ratio of computational performance to power consumption.
In the 4 years since its inception, DEEPX has achieved great results, including a cumulative investment of USD 25 million, the title of organizer of the development of Korea's next-generation intelligent semiconductor, and 101 patent applications at home and abroad.
DEEPX succeeded in implementing the NPU applicable to IoT and edge devices for the first time in Korea in 2019, and from the following year, it developed technology to simplify the deep learning algorithm and optimized the hardware structure to upgrade the NPU design dozens of times. At long last, DEEPX will be releasing the DEEPX series this year."

"Securing low-power and lightweight NPU source technology
The AI semiconductor market, which is responsible for the collection and processing of big data, is growing rapidly. In order to properly implement AI, not only software but also hardware technology dedicated to AI must be supported. In particular, system semiconductor technology that implements AI functions by processing multiple calculations at the same time is the key. The system semiconductor technology market, which has been focusing on GPUs, is rapidly reorganizing around the most optimized Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI. According to the “System Semiconductor Industry Status and Prospect” published by the Export-Import Bank of Korea’s Overseas Economic Research Institute, the AI semiconductor market will grow to about 129.27 trillion won in 2030, and the NPU market is expected to grow in earnest from 2025. predicted. In addition to major semiconductor companies such as Nvidia and Intel, global ICT companies such as Google and Microsoft, as well as Samsung Electronics and SK Telecom in Korea, are already fiercely competing.
...they understandably don't call us maybe because they might perceive us as direct competition.
However, in this fierce global competition, the domestic startup DeepX (CEO Kim Nok-won) is attracting attention in the fourth year of its founding. This is because it has secured the original
technology for ultra-low power semiconductors with the world's highest power performance ratio.
DeepX, which focused on technology to be applied to Internet of Things (IoT) devices from the beginning and concentrated its development capabilities, developed a deep learning acceleration processor for IoT and edge device applications for the first time in Korea in 2019 and developed an NPU in the second half of this year, just three years later. The chip is about to be released.
The core of DeepX technology is ultra-low power and light weight. It supports the latest algorithms widely used in the market, implements the highest level of artificial intelligence (AI) for each algorithm, and can process data quickly with low power. In particular, it has a hardware architecture that can support from 0.5 TOPS (1TOPS is 1 trillion operations per second) to tens of POPS (1POPS is 1,000 trillion operations per second) and is easily scalable. AI algorithm optimization technology for high accuracy is also competitive here. For example, Yolo Ver., one of the DNN models that currently provide the highest level of AI. Compared to Halo's AI processing accuracy (based on mAP) of 33.1% in 5s (based on 512x512 input image), DeepX provides 36.9%, an improvement of about 4%. DeepX's NPU is driven by a single FPGA, enabling real-time operation at
30FPS (Frame Per Second) or more.
Based on this unrivaled technology, we applied for a total of 85 patents as of November 2021, including registering 11 patents related to NPU and
NPU application technology for low-power, high-performance deep learning computation, and won the Korea Excellent Patent Grand Prize in 2020 and 2021 successively. grabbed it
