NXP Unveils Latest Processor for Scalable AI Platforms at CES 2023

NXP Semiconductors unveiled the newest addition to its i.MX9 series of application processors at CES 2023, with the latest design created for AI edge platforms.

The new processor, the i.MX95, combines 3D graphics, a new NXP accelerator for machine learning, and high-speed data processing to enable advanced applications for automotive, industrial, networking and connectivity purposes, to name a few.

“The i.MX 95 family brings unparalleled features and performance to markets like automotive and industrial where security and safety are key,” said Rafael Sotomayor, NXP executive vice president. “The i.MX 95 brings together NXP eIQ Neutron NPU, Arm Mali graphics, integrated heterogeneous safety domain, and networking capabilities to create a truly unique solution. Combining our deep expertise in functional safety with AI acceleration, high-performance CPU cores, and high-throughput connectivity, NXP is creating the standard for a new generation of safe and secure edge platforms.”

The i.MX 95 range is intended for use with multiple camera sensors or network-attached smart cameras, alongside imaging sensors to give high-quality vision capabilities to the robotics, industrial, medical and automotive industries as they move into Industry 4.0.

All NXP devices can also be fitted with wireless connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 5G. The i.MX 95 series also puts security at the forefront of its design, integrating a “secure enclave to simplify implementation of security critical functions like secure boot, cryptography, trust provisioning and run-time attestation.”
