Axera Named Among Top 10 AI Chip Companies in AspenCore's 2025 China Fabless 100 Rankings
AspenCore, a leading global media group in electronics technology, has released its 2025 China Fabless 100 rankings, an annual list recognizing the top 100 IC design companies in China. Axera earned a place among the Top 10 AI Chip Companies, recognized for its achievements in AI chip technology innovation, product development, and mass production capabilities. Listed companies must meet core criteria including having self-developed chips in mass production and commercial deployment or mainstream OEM supply chains, along with holding multiple invention patents and demonstrating strong capabilities in chip R&D and application design.
AspenCore notes that China's AI chip sector continues to make remarkable strides in technological independence, application versatility, and ecosystem integration, maintaining robust investment momentum relative to other sectors. The industry is now focused on reinforcing its core capabilities and gradually shifting from a catch-up phase to a position of innovation leadership.
As a leading AI perception and edge computing chip company, Axera has maintained unwavering focus on developing and mass-producing high-performance, low-power AI processors since its founding in 2019. The company's two core proprietary technologies—AXProton AI-ISP and AXNeutron mixed precision NPU—provide powerful support for AI innovation. The former employs pixel-level AI processing technology to enhance imaging across complex scenarios, while the latter utilizes a multi-threaded heterogeneous multi-core design to efficiently support various neural networks, establishing a solid foundation for edge and terminal LLM applications.
Leveraging the two core technologies, Axera has successfully developed and mass-produced multiple generations of AI chips, achieving scaled deployment across terminal computing, smart driving, and edge computing markets, earning broad customer trust and recognition.
This Top 10 ranking serves both as strong validation of Axera's technological capabilities and recognition of its ongoing efforts to advance AI technology and drive intelligent industrial transformation. Looking forward, Axera will continue empowering smart transformation through core technology, pursuing its mission of "AI for All, AI for a Better World." The company aims to disrupt the technology world with more intelligent SoC solution, making AI applications more accessible and integrated into everyday life.
