DeepX DX-M1 AI Chip Hits 90% Yield with Samsung’s 5nm Technology
DeepX, a South Korean AI semiconductor company, has announced a major milestone for its DX-M1 chip, achieving a 90% yield rate through Samsung Foundry’s 5nm manufacturing process.
The DX-M1 is engineered for real-time AI processing in energy-constrained environments, making it ideal for physical security, robotics, and smart manufacturing. Its ability to process over 16 video channels simultaneously at 30 frames per second highlights its suitability for intelligent video analytics, machine vision, and industrial automation.
By supporting advanced AI models such as YOLOv9 and vision transformers, the chip caters to a wide range of inference tasks, from object detection to image recognition.
DeepX has emphasized its unique contributions to edge AI, leveraging proprietary technologies like IQ8 compression, which enhances model efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
Additionally, Smart Memory Access technology significantly reduces memory usage, enabling high performance with Low-Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR) memory while avoiding the costs associated with high-bandwidth memory (HBM).
DeepX raises $15M to accelerate machine automation business
Since its establishment in April 2016, DeepX has been driving the development of general-purpose AI technologies for the automation of various machinery and field operations in a wide range of industries. The raised funds will be used to invest primarily in engineering and computational resources to accelerate the commercialization of construction equipment automation, in-factory work automation, and the provision of automation modules. In particular, we will pursue a robustness, transferability, explainability and sample efficiency in recognition and control technologies for the real world.
