Encharge AI unveils EN100 AI accelerator chip with analog memory

EnCharge AI, an AI chip startup that raised $144 million to date, announced the EnCharge EN100, an AI accelerator built on precise and scalable analog in-memory computing. Designed to bring advanced AI capabilities to laptops, workstations, and edge devices, EN100 leverages transformational efficiency to deliver 200-plus TOPS (a measure of AI performance) of total compute power within the power constraints of edge and client platforms such as laptops. The company spun out of Princeton University on the bet that its analog memory chips will speed up AI processing and cut costs too. “EN100 represents a fundamental shift in AI computing architecture, rooted in hardware and software innovations that have been de-risked through fundamental research spanning multiple generations of silicon development,” said Naveen Verma, CEO at EnCharge AI, in a statement. “These innovations are now being made available as products for the industry to use, as scalable, programmable AI inference solutio ...
