● Why HonChen

Built on 25 Years of
Silicon-Proven IP Discipline

Hand-tuned RTL, workload-validated, process-flexible. Not a pivot from another business.

01

Hand-Tuned RTL

Every line of RTL hand-written by silicon veterans. No HLS shortcuts. Smaller die, higher clock, better PPA.

02

Workload-Validated

Whisper Small/tiny, Qwen 1.7B/500M, VITS TTS, YOLOv3-tiny, YOLOv4-tiny — verified on our NPU IP.

03

Process-Flexible

RTL IP — not tied to any foundry or process node. From 55 nm to 2 nm class, customer chooses based on budget and product positioning.
