“Achronix can design, build and demonstrate the highest-performance, fully functional semiconductor products on the most advanced processes technology available,” states Robert Blake, President and CEO of Achronix. The company’s delivery of innovations in programmable logic segment has set a new standard in the industry in terms of performance, power, and cost leadership. It developed the industry’s only silicon-proven embedded FPGA technology and was the first to deliver high-density FPGAs with an embedded system-level IP with the introduction of Speedster22i family in 2013. Further, the company went ahead to innovate and launch new products like Speedcore, Speedchip, Speedster22i, PCIe Accelerator and Speedster7t. Recently, Achronix announced the availability of Speedcore custom blocks, which massively improve performance, power and die area efficiency, while enabling functionality which was impossible in standalone FPGAs. The production availability of Speedcore embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP for integration into customers’ System-on-Chips (SoCs), enabled the possibility of seamless computation and network acceleration applications. Following the unprecedented demand for Speedcore IP, Achronix launched Speedchip FPGA chiplets and Speedster22i FPGAs.
The recent release Speedster7t meets the growing demands of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning (AI/ML) and high-bandwidth data acceleration applications. “The Speedster7t family is the fusion of flexible FPGA technology with ASIC core efficiency to deliver a new “FPGA+” class of chips that truly push the boundaries of HPC acceleration,” remarks Blake.![]()

Disrupting the electronic industry in semiconductor technology since 2004, Achronix has a rapidly growing customer base. Achronix announced immediate availability of Speedcore Gen4 eFPGA IP for AI/ML and networking hardware acceleration applications with added new Machine Learning Processor (MLP) delivering 300% higher system performance for AI/ML applications. “Our new architecture adds the flexibility and re-programmability of our proven FPGA technology to support exploding demand for new AI/ML and high data bandwidth applications,” says Blake. In yet another instance, Achronix introduces a ground-breaking FPGA family, delivering new levels of performance with adaptability for high-bandwidth data acceleration applications. With rapidly evolving use cases for AI/ML, new solutions are in demand to address the varying requirements of high performance, flexibility and time to market. With the future market revolving around AI/ML, Achronix has innovations centered on it in its pipeline. “We are at the beginning of a high-growth phase of intelligent, self-learning computation that will have broad impacts on all aspects of our daily lives”.
