Ubitium and ADTechnology Partner to Develop UB410 Universal Microprocessor Using Samsung Foundry

ADTechnology, Korea’s largest semiconductor design house, has teamed up with German fabless semiconductor company Ubitium to develop the UB410, a general-purpose microprocessor designed to replace traditional CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and FPGAs. The UB410 integrates these functions into a single compute fabric, aiming to simplify system design, reduce costs, and support advanced on-device AI, signal processing, and general-purpose workloads.

Under the partnership, ADTechnology will handle backend design and coordinate manufacturing as a Design Solution Partner (DSP) using Samsung Foundry’s FinFET technologies. The prototype tape-out is scheduled for the second half of 2025, with mass production planned for late 2026 or early 2027.

Hyun-Shin Cho, CEO of Ubitium, stated that the UB410 represents a new processor category, unifying separate compute domains into a programmable architecture to streamline product design and accelerate market delivery. Jun-Gyu Park, CEO of ADTechnology, noted their role in supporting the processor’s implementation, leveraging their expertise in system-on-chip (SoC) design. Tae-Joong Song, Vice President at Samsung Electronics, highlighted Samsung Foundry’s role in enabling such innovations.

The UB410 targets edge computing applications, including robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, audio processi...
