About Achronix
Achronix is a fabless chip company, meaning it designs silicon but leaves manufacturing to others. It sells Speedster7t FPGAs, reprogrammable chips built on TSMC's 7 nm process that include a network on chip for moving data between blocks, along with VectorPath accelerator cards. It also licenses Speedcore embedded FPGA IP, which lets other chipmakers place a small programmable fabric inside their own designs. Founded in 2004 in Ithaca, New York, on technology licensed from Cornell University, it is privately held and based in Santa Clara, California.
Achronix was founded in 2004 and is based in Santa Clara, CA, United States. It is listed under FPGAs, AI Accelerators.

What Achronix works on
FPGAs
An FPGA, or field-programmable gate array, is a chip whose internal wiring can be changed after it is made. It contains a grid of small logic blocks, memory blocks and programmable connections. Loading a new configuration file, called a bitstream, turns it into a different digital circuit.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
