The Cadence® Tensilica® Vision P1 DSP is the latest addition to the Vision DSP family. The smallest Vision DSP is targeted for lower power, always-on application offering one-third the power and area compared to the highly successful Vision P6 DSP while offering an easy software transition from Vision P6 DSP via the N way programming model. The Vision P1 DSP also offers flexibility to configure without various features to reduce area and even reduce the data RAM to provide the best area for sensor integration.

Area and Power Optimized
128-bit SIMD with lowest area and power among the Vision DSPs and lower power compared to host CPU and GPU
Vision/Image Processing
Instructions set optimized for computer vision and image processing applications
High Performance
> 0.256TOPS AI performance for object detection, image classification, Image segmentation
