PIMIC and Luxshare-ICT Announce Strategic Collaboration to Bring Processing-in-Memory Edge AI Platform to Market

PIMIC, the US-based pioneer in Processing-in-Memory (PIM) neural computing, and Luxshare Precision, the consumer electronics and wearable technology ODM and manufacturing powerhouse, announced a strategic collaboration to develop and bring to market next-generation devices powered by PIMIC's edge-AI silicon. Luxshare will deliver advanced engineering, manufacturing, and integration at scale to the startup, enabling its Jetstreme PIM technology in a scalable silicon platform.

During CES 2025, USound introduced two new innovative integrations in its growing range of MEMS speakers, unlocking new features for true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds with no additional components. The Austrian specialist in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) speakers announced a breakthrough that enables earbuds to feature advanced health monitoring and proximity detection, directly in the same device.

USound announced the availability of a new dual driver module created in collaboration with Luxshare-ICT. This is the practical result of the collaboration between the two companies announced in 2022, targeting the development of a new audio solution that would fulfill all criteria for true wireless stereo (TWS) and in-ear monitors (IEMs). The new Gemini 2.0 UAM-C1102 dual driver module is now available.

Luxshare-ICT, one of the largest manufacturers and supplier for global consumer electronics brands, and Austrian MEMS pioneer USound have developed Gemini, an innovative hybrid audio module that offers numerous advantages through its 2-way audio technology combining a MEMS and a dynamic driver coaxially aligned. The solution not only enhances sound quality but allows effective active noise cancellation (ANC) applications with MEMS drivers.

Austrian MEMS piezoelectric microspeaker specialist USound announced an agreement with Luxshare-ICT, one of the largest manufacturers and supplier for global consumer electronics brands. Luxshare-ICT chose USound as its strategical MEMS speaker supplier for its new ultra-compact hybrid audio module intended to power next-generation innovative dual-driver true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds. The new Luxshare-ICT audio TWS solution will be in mass production in 2023.
