Arteris, Inc. announced that its FlexNoC network‑on‑chip (NoC) interconnect IP has been licensed and deployed by Renesas Electronics for the company’s next‑generation R‑Car Gen 5 system‑on‑chip (SoC) series. The R‑Car X5H SoC, currently in sampling, targets advanced driver‑assist and automated driving applications and incorporates Arteris’ NoC to enable high‑performance, energy‑efficient data movement among AI accelerators, GPUs, and Arm CPU clusters.
The partnership places Arteris at the core of Renesas’ automotive AI strategy. FlexNoC’s chiplet‑aware architecture can boost AI performance by a factor of four or more, and it supports the X5H’s 400 TOPS of native AI acceleration while meeting ISO 26262 ASIL D safety requirements. Renesas reports a 30‑35% power reduction for the X5H compared with previous‑generation processes, underscoring the value of Arteris’ interconnect in a safety‑critical, high‑performance environment.
This win expands Arteris’ revenue opportunity in the automotive vertical, a key growth area for its interconnect business. It also demonstrates the scalability of FlexNoC in a demanding application, reinforcing Arteris’ competitive advantage as a neutral, high‑margin IP vendor capable of serving diverse processor architectures and complex chiplet designs.
The deal highlights the growing demand for high‑speed, physically aware interconnects in next‑generation autonomous vehicle platforms and positions both companies to capture the expanding software‑defined vehicle market.
Arteris’ CEO, K. Charles Janac, noted that the collaboration “expands our partnership with Renesas and strengthens our role in delivering the connectivity and safety needed for next‑generation automotive AI.”
Renesas’ VP of SoC, Aish Dubey, added that “Arteris FlexNoC IP enables us to achieve the performance, power reductions, and functional safety required for our next‑generation ADAS SoCs for level 2+, 3, and even level 4 automated vehicles.”
