Enabling Physical Edge AI at Scale

How to deploy real AI at the physical edge without burning power, cost, or BOM.

GPU‑centric architectures are often overkill at the edge—consuming too much power, driving up system cost, and limiting deployment to a narrow set of platforms.

This talk shows how Avnet Silica enables high‑performance Physical Edge AI on edge devices, even on low‑DMIPS processors, by leveraging DEEPX NPUs and a scalable supplier ecosystem. We’ll cover practical performance benchmarks, real enablement work done by Avnet Silica, and how these solutions scale across our linecard without resorting to GPUs.
