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.

A Celebration of the Art of the Possible. CES 2025 was extremely successful. Even with the impression of fewer people because of the show being even more dispersed. In this first impressions report we discuss how Edge-AI (on-device) is transforming what is possible in audio processing. And of course there was MagSafe and Qi2. USB4. Bluetooth LE Audio. Auracast. Wireless Multichannel. And much more. This is necessarily a brief first impressions editorial to follow up on a very intense edition of CES, where the business-to-business aspects of the show have intensified as predicted.

PIMIC, a new company working on ultra-low-power AI technology, unveiled the Clarity NC100, a Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) chip that sets a new benchmark for performance and edge AI compute efficiency. Working in partnership with Taiwan-based MEMS microphone developer ZillTek, at CES 2025 the Californian company will present an integrated edge AI chip and digital microphone designed to address noise cancellation challenges in a single package.
