SEOUL, Nov. 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korean neural processing unit (NPU) developer DEEPX said Tuesday it has won a CES 2027 Innovation Award in the artificial intelligence (AI) category for its next-generation AI semiconductor.
The DX-M2 is an ultra-low-power chip designed to run inference on large language models and vision-language models, built on Samsung Electronics Co.'s 2-nanometer foundry process.
It enables generative AI applications on robots and industrial devices without relying on cloud computing.
The chip aims to enable on-device generative AI inference while reducing reliance on cloud services, with power consumption of around 5 watts.
DEEPX completed the chip's tape-out earlier this month, with initial mass production scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027 and full-scale production slated to begin in 2028.
