Amol Borkar, Product Marketing Director at Cadence, presents the “Solving Tomorrow’s AI Problems Today with Cadence’s Newest Processor” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly integrating into every aspect of technology. While the neural processing unit (NPU) often receives the majority of the spotlight as the ultimate AI problem solver, it is essential to recognize that not all AI workloads can be efficiently executed on an NPU and that neural network architectures are evolving rapidly. To create efficient chips and systems with market longevity, designers must plan for diverse AI workloads that include networks yet to be invented.
In this presentation, Borkar introduces a new processor from Cadence Tensilica. This new solution is designed to complement any NPU, creating the perfect synergy between the two processing engines and establishing a robust AI subsystem able to efficiently support workloads yet to be encountered. This combination allows developers to achieve efficiency and performance on the AI workloads of today and tomorrow, paving the way for future innovations in AI-powered devices.
