Ambiq’s Apollo510 Offers 30x Power Efficiency Improvement

KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- Technology leader Ambiq, has introduced the new Apollo510, the first member of the Apollo5 SoC family, which is uniquely positioned to kickstart the age of truly ubiquitous, practical, and meaningful artificial intelligence (AI).

Ambiq in a statement said the Apollo510 MCU was a complete overhaul of hardware and software that fully leverages the Arm Cortex-M55 CPU with Arm Helium to reach processing speeds up to 250 megahertz (MHz).

The Apollo510 achieves up to 10 times better latency while reducing energy consumption by around two times, compared to Ambiq's previous power efficiency leader, the Apollo4.

This desirable combination of performance and efficiency allows the company’s customers to deploy sophisticated speech, vision, health, and industrial AI models on battery-powered devices everywhere, making it the most efficient semiconductor on the market to operate with the Arm Cortex-M55.

“We at Ambiq have pushed our proprietary SPOT platform to optimise power consumption in support of our customers, who are aggressively increasing the intelligence and sophistication of their battery-powered devices year after year.

“The new Apollo510 MCU is simultaneously the most energy-efficient and highest-performance product we have ever created,” said Ambiq Chief Technology Officer and Founder, Scott Hanson.

With more than 30 times energy improvement, the Apollo510 is capable of running a vast majority of today's endpoint AI calculations, including low-power sensor monitoring, always-on voice commands, and telco-quality audio enhancement.

Apollo510 contains everything needed for driving intelligent systems namely ultra-efficient compute, expansive on-chip memories, high-bandwidth interfaces to off-chip memories, and security.

The Apollo510 MCU is currently sampling with customers, with general availability in the fourth quarter this year.
