About
XMOS is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Bristol, UK, on a mission to transform how systems are deployed on silicon. By enabling embedded software engineers to create custom system-on-chip (SoC) solutions through software alone, XMOS is disrupting SoC economics and accelerating time to market.
The company offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of far-field voice-capture solutions, including both circular and linear arrays—designed to support a wide variety of consumer applications. These solutions are powered by voice-specific AI and signal processing algorithms, each individually tunable to meet precise customer requirements.

All algorithms are deployed on xCORE-200, XMOS’s family of multicore microcontrollers. Built on a patented architecture, xCORE-200 supports firmware-level customisation of algorithms, control logic, and I/O—delivering unmatched flexibility while driving a low-friction, fabless business model.
This unique combination of software-defined adaptability and scalable hardware enables XMOS to respond rapidly to evolving market needs, while raising substantial barriers to entry for competitors.
