The Atomiq™ SoC enables a new class of always-on edge AI through SPOT®, delivering high-performance NPU workloads with unmatched power efficiency. Targeted applications include advanced audio, natural language processing, computer vision, and on-device reasoning for intelligent, responsive, and energy-efficient edge applications.
Apollo is the foundation of Ambiq’s current edge AI success. Atomiq™ extends that foundation, introducing a new system architecture optimized for higher-performance, always-on AI workloads as models grow larger and more complex.
A simple way to think about it:
Apollo powers today’s edge AI deployments; Atomiq defines the next phase.
Absolutely. Apollo remains central to our portfolio and revenue today. Atomiq™ builds on Apollo’s success—it doesn’t replace it.
Atomiq™ introduces a system-level architecture designed from the ground up for AI workloads, including a dedicated NPU, while retaining Ambiq’s leadership in ultra-low-power operation through SPOT®. It’s about scaling intelligence without scaling power.
Arm® Ethos™-U85 provides meaningful gains in AI performance and efficiency, and it aligns well with our SPOT® platform. Together, they enable larger models and more complex workloads at power levels that weren’t previously practical at the edge.
Applications that demand always-on intelligence, such as:
They represent two ends of the edge AI spectrum—ultra-compact consumer devices and mission-critical industrial systems. Together, they show how Ambiq’s platforms scale across vastly different constraints and use cases.
We haven’t announced availability timelines. We plan to share additional technical details and roadmap updates beginning in March 2026 at Embedded World.
