Quadric, Inc. licenses semiconductor IP and software for efficient, flexible AI processors, including the Chimera GPNPU core for on-device ML inference and C++ workloads.
Quadric, Inc. is a semiconductor IP licensing company that delivers blueprints for efficient, flexible AI processors to customers designing chips for frontier applications. Its flagship Chimera GPNPU is a General Purpose Neural Processing Unit that lets developers run both neural network inference and conventional C++ code on a single programmable architecture, optimized for on-device ML inference and available in automotive-grade configurations. The core scales from 1 to 6,912 TOPS.
Alongside the processor core, Quadric licenses an AI processor IP and software stack built on a unified hardware/software architecture, allowing semiconductor companies and systems companies designing their own silicon to move from engagement to production-ready AI silicon in under six months. The work is technically demanding and the outcomes measurable; the company was named 2025 Best Edge AI Processor IP by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, and its technology has been selected by DENSO for next-generation ADAS.
The company's designs serve a wide range of applications, including automotive ADAS, AI PCs, industrial sensors, robotics, office automation equipment, network processors and intelligent edge devices. Quadric is headquartered in Burlingame, California, with teams across North America, Asia and Europe.
