Renesas Sets New MCU Performance Bar with 1-GHz RA8P1 Devices with AI Acceleration

Single- and Dual-Core MCUs Combine Arm Cortex-M85 and M33 Cores with Arm Ethos-U55 NPU to Deliver Superior AI Performance up to 256 GOPs Unprecedented 7300+ CoreMarks1 with Dual Arm CPU cores TSMC 22ULL Process Delivers High Performance and Low Power Consumption Embedded MRAM with Faster Write Speeds and Higher Endurance and Retention Dedicated Peripherals Optimized for Vision and Voice AI plus Real-Time Analytics New AI Software Framework Eases Development and Enables Easy Migration with MPUs Leading-Edge Security Features Ensure Data Privacy TOKYO, July 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced the RA8P1 microcontroller (MCU) Group targeted at Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications, as well as real-time analytics. The new MCUs establish a new performance level for MCUs by combining 1GHz Arm® Cortex®-M85 and 250MHz Cortex-M33 CPU cores with the Arm Ethos™-U55 Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This combination delivers the highest CPU performance of over 7300 CoreMarks and AI performance of 256 GOPS at 500 MHz. Designed for Edge/Endpoint AI The RA8P1 is optimized for edge and endpoint AI applications, using the Ethos-U55 NPU to offload the CPU for compute intensive operations in Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks (CNNs and RNNs) to deliver up to 256 MACs per cycle that yield 256 GOPS performance at 500 MHz. The new NPU supports most commonly used networks, including DS-CNN, ResNet, Mobilenet TinyYolo and more. Depending on the neural network used, the Ethos-U55 provides up to 35x more inferences per second than the Cortex-M85 processor on its own. Advanced Technology The RA8P1 MCUs are manufactured on the 22ULL (22nm ultra-low leakage) process from TSMC, enabling ultra-high performance with very low power consumption. This process also enables the use of embedded Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) in the new MCUs. MRAM offers faster write speeds along with higher endurance and retention compared with Flash.

Everspin Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:MRAM) reported first-quarter revenue of $13.1 million, exceeding their guidance range. The company achieved a non-GAAP EPS of $0.02, surpassing expectations. Everspin continues to see strong product revenue, particularly from the PERSYST 1-gigabit STT-MRAM used in data center applications. The company is involved in significant projects with major automotive and aerospace clients, including Lucid Motors and Blue Origin. Everspin's balance sheet remains strong and debt-free, with cash and cash equivalents of $42.2 million. Licensing, royalty, patent, and other revenue decreased to $2.1 million from $3.6 million in Q1 2024. Gross margin decreased to 51.4% from 56.5% in Q1 2024 due to a lower mix of high-margin licensing revenue. The company anticipates a non-GAAP net loss per basic share between $0.05 and breakeven for Q2 2025. Everspin's revenue is expected to be more heavily weighted towards the second half of 2025, indicating potential short-term challenges. There is uncertainty regarding potential tariff impacts, particularly concerning products manufactured in the US and shipped to China. Q: Can you explain the potential impact of tariffs on your second-quarter guidance, especially concerning China? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, explained that while some wafers are sourced from GlobalFoundries in Germany and others from the US and Taiwan, direct sales to China are minimal. Therefore, the impact of tariffs is expected to be low. Most products are assembled in Taiwan, and the importer would be responsible for tariffs. Q: Are you seeing signs of a cyclical recovery in the industrial segment of your business? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, confirmed that there are signs of improvement in backlog and traction on STT-MRAM products, indicating a potential cyclical recovery in the industrial segment. Q: Can you provide insights into the gross margin dynamics and expectations for the rest of the year? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, noted that the gross margin was consistent between Q4 and Q1 at around 51%. He expects this consistency to continue throughout the year, maintaining a 50-plus gross margin. Q: What factors are contributing to the expected second-half weighting of revenue in 2025? A: Sanjeev Aggarwal, President and CEO, mentioned that the backlog is building up, and there is a conversion of design wins into early production for STT products. This, along with the bottoming out of inventory correction, supports the expectation of higher revenue in the second half of 2025. Q: How should we view operating expenses for the rest of the year? A: William Cooper, Chief Financial Officer, indicated that operating expenses are expected to remain in the same range throughout the year, with some product development work contributing to the expenses.
