Mythic® selects memBrain technology from Silicon Storage Technology for its next generation of ultra-low-power analogue processing units
26 March 2026
Mythic has chosen memBrain neuromorphic hardware intellectual property (IP) from Microchip Technology’s Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary for its next-generation edge to enterprise Analogue Processing Units (APUs).
Mythic will utilise SST's SuperFlash embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) bitcells to deliver high levels of analog compute-in-memory (aCIM) performance per watt. The partnership enables Mythic to achieve 120 TOPS/watt inference processing for power-efficient AI acceleration at the edge and in the data centre: Mythic's APUs are targeted to be up to 100 times more energy-efficient than conventional digital Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
