Hailo Hailo-8 AI Processor

Hailo Hailo-8 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processor features up to 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS), significantly outperforming other edge processors. The processor's area and power efficiency are far superior to similar leading solutions, at a size smaller than a penny, even including the required memory. With an architecture that leverages the core properties of neural networks, the Hailo Hailo-8 AI processor's neural chip enables edge devices to run deep learning applications at full scale more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably than other AI chips and solutions.

Hailo-8 integrates all required memory directly on the processor die. This on-chip memory architecture delivers the bandwidth needed for high-performance AI inference while reducing system cost, simplifying hardware design, and improving reliability.
