Founded in 2022 and based in Cupertino, California, PIMIC specializes in ultra-efficient silicon solutions for AI on-device applications. PIMIC's solution uses an innovative processing-in-memory hardware architecture that enables dramatic acceleration for advanced AI capabilities, while reducing power consumption by 20x. The solution can apply to numerous AI inference applications, and PIMIC’s first product achieves speech recognition processing under 50uA.
The partnership with Luxshare-ICT aims to bring PIMIC's breakthrough technology to market, powering wearable and personal audio platforms that deliver higher performance, longer battery life, and premium user experiences. This partnership aims to create smarter devices that are capable of running powerful on-device AI without relying on cloud connectivity.
"Luxshare-ICT has established itself as a leader in the wearable ecosystem, and PIMIC is proud to partner with them to bring our ultra-efficient AI silicon into their next-generation devices," says Subi Krishnamurthy, CEO of PIMIC. "Our collaboration is a milestone toward truly AI-first wearables — delivering superior performance with exceptional battery life."
PIMIC's Jetstreme processing-in-memory architecture delivers high performance at extremely low power for audio, vision, and multimodal workloads. By integrating multiple key technologies, Jetstreme-based silicon can achieve petaOPS-class performance (over 1,000 TOPS). The joint solution with Luxshare will enable real-time inference for workloads such as voice interaction and advanced sensor fusion — while maintaining ultra-low power consumption.
"This partnership with PIMIC strengthens our effort to bring innovative acoustic solutions to end users, especially considering ultra-low power consumption and compact form factor for mechanical layout by integrating PIMIC AI solutions," adds Ronald Yuan, Sr. Director of Luxshare-ICT Technology Committee. "The joint technology cooperation will be applied soon to wearable products such as wireless headsets, AI/AR glasses, and AIoT devices to fulfill the innovation-to-market strategy of both companies."
