Quadric is a semiconductor IP company specializing in machine learning (ML) optimized processor architecture for on-device artificial intelligence computing. Their flagship product, the Chimera GPNPU (General Purpose Neural Processing Unit), is a licensable processor IP that scales from 1 to 864 TOPs and supports all ML networks including classical backbones, vision transformers, and large language models. Quadric's architecture uniquely handles matrix, vector, and scalar operations in a single execution pipeline, simplifying SoC design and accelerating ML model porting. The company targets high-volume consumer products with tight cost, power, and size constraints, including automotive applications with ASIL-ready cores. Quadric launched its first GPNPU product in 2022 and began deliveries in 2023, recently releasing a third generation with enhanced performance. Their business model is IP licensing, serving SoC developers across diverse markets such as consumer electronics, mobile, industrial, and automotive sectors.
