FAQ
What is the Axelera Embedded product line?
Axelera Embedded is a family of AI accelerator hardware built for constrained devices that need high-performance AI inference. The line includes three products: the Embedded 110m, the Embedded 113m, and the Embedded 111c, all powered by Axelera's Metis AI Processing Unit (AIPU).
What is Metis?
Metis is Axelera AI's AI Processing Unit (AIPU). It combines proprietary Digital In-Memory Computing (D-IMC) and RISC-V controlled dataflow technology with the Voyager SDK, delivering high performance at a fraction of the cost and power consumption of other solutions, with built-in data security.
What is the difference between the 110m, 113m, and 111c?
The Axelera Embedded 110m is an M.2 card built for efficient, low-power vision inference. The Axelera Embedded 113m is an M.2 card built for higher-performance workloads, including LLM and VLM applications with increased bandwidth and memory. The Axelera Embedded 111c is a full single-board computer that pairs a quad-core Metis AIPU with an RK3588 ARM processor for standalone deployment.
What form factors does Axelera Embedded come in?
Axelera Embedded is available as an M.2 card (110m and 113m) and as a single-board computer, or SBC (111c). This lets customers choose the right form factor for their system design, whether adding AI to an existing board or deploying a standalone unit.
