Projectdetails

Introduction

videantis (Hannover/DE) is a hidden champion for processor architecture and advanced SoC design. Our processor architecture is in automotive production in already 15M+ cars to date.

Team and Expertise

With our team of 20 specialists, we are the only SME known in the EU already starting a 5nm design.

Unified Processing Platform

Our truly unified processing platform is 100% programmable and handles all signal processing tasks with superior PPA (performance, power, area) compared to other solutions.

Scalability and Applications

Building upon our reputation in automotive, we scale up the architecture to 100s of cores on a single 5nm die as a reference chip platform for:

  • Smart sensors
  • Central HPCs for ADAS/AD

This will enable European OEMs to realize their own highest-performance and custom AI SoCs, reducing dependencies from their US and Chinese suppliers and cutting costs by up to 90%.

Funding and Goals

With the EIC funding, we will support the development of the reference platform and become a key driver for Europe’s chip sovereignty, contributing to the goals of the EU Chips Act.
