That architecture allowed Ambarella to create this new CV72S SoC with the security industry’s highest AI performance per watt and fusion of radar and camera data, for better nighttime and all-weather AI perception.

Key Points:

That architecture allowed Ambarella to create this new CV72S SoC with the security industry’s highest AI performance per watt and fusion of radar and camera data, for better nighttime and all-weather AI perception.
Its dedicated AI hardware efficiently runs the latest transformer neural networks (NNs), which now outperform convolutional NNs for many vision tasks.
As a result of the CVflow architecture’s efficiencies, combined with 5nm process technology, the CV72S consumes less than 3W of power, offering the mainstream security market’s highest AI performance per watt.
The new CV72S SoC is available now for sampling, and will be demonstrated during ISC West 2023 in Las Vegas next week.
