About Longqing Vision Chip

Longqing Vision Chip (LQ Silicon) develops intelligent multimedia computing System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions based on the RISC-V architecture. The company was established in February 2023, emerging from the Longjing Microelectronics Team, which was founded in 2003 with investment from Shanghai Alliance Investment Ltd. and included members from an American Intel team. This original team focused on developing core processor IP and consumer terminal application SOC chips, successfully creating China's first mass-produced 32-bit MIPS high-performance microprocessor.

LQ Silicon offers a full-stack solution that spans from edge-side large AI model chips to AI terminals. Its product portfolio includes chips for intelligent video, smart audio, and high-performance MCUs. A key technology is its independently developed high-performance, general-purpose neural network accelerator for the edge, designed for low power consumption and efficiency in applications like AIPC and AI servers. The company provides system-level solutions for a range of industries, including smart multimedia terminals, satellite internet terminals, connected vehicle multimedia computing, and hyper-converged intelligent computing devices. Additionally, LQ Silicon has developed the 'Zhulong' low-orbit satellite terminal using domestic chips and a proprietary phased array solution.

The firm's business model is centered on providing end-to-end solutions, from the chip to the system, for the intelligent multimedia computing industry. It serves clients in sectors requiring advanced multimedia processing and edge AI capabilities, positioning itself as a key supplier leveraging the RISC-V open technology standard. The company has secured investments from industrial institutions such as Alliance Investment, CCore, Six United, and Xuhui Capital.
