Arteris announced a collaboration with AMD to integrate its FlexGen Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect IP into AMD’s next-generation AI chiplet designs. The agreement enables AMD to license FlexGen for use alongside its Infinity Fabric interconnect, targeting higher scalability, improved efficiency, and faster design cycles across a broad portfolio of products spanning data centers, AI systems, and client devices.
FlexGen is engineered to address the growing complexity of SoCs and chiplet-based architectures, where multiple interconnects are now required to manage data movement efficiently. According to Arteris, FlexGen accelerates chiplet development with up to 10x faster design cycles, 3x greater engineering efficiency, and 30% wire reduction—benefits that directly improve power efficiency, latency, and congestion across designs. AMD expects the integration to automate interconnect configuration, simplify SoC communications, and support its AI computing roadmap from cloud to edge deployments.
The collaboration reflects an industry shift toward modular, multi-die architectures as AI workloads push silicon performance to new limits. By combining Arteris’ FlexGen NoC with AMD’s Infinity Fabric, the companies aim to streamline chiplet interconnect design and strengthen AMD’s position in heterogeneous compute systems.
• Arteris’ FlexGen NoC IP will be integrated into AMD’s Infinity Fabric for AI chiplets• FlexGen delivers 10x faster design cycles, 3x engineering efficiency, and 30% wire reduction• Addresses complexity of multi-die and chiplet-based architectures across data center, edge, and client devices• AMD expects FlexGen to automate interconnect configuration and boost scalability across its AI portfolio• Marks an expanded collaboration between AMD and Arteris in silicon interconnect innovation
“With modern chiplets each having between 5 and 20 interconnect networks for data transport, our FlexGen NoC IP will work hand in hand with AMD’s Infinity Fabric to accelerate the performance and scalability required by today’s most demanding and diverse applications,” said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris.
🌐 Why it Matters: The deal highlights the critical role of NoC IP in advancing chiplet-based architectures, a foundation for AI-driven computing. As chip complexity grows, efficient interconnect design is becoming as important as compute cores themselves in determining overall system performance.
