NoC IP licenses and royalties to chip and automotive designers (4B+ SoCs shipped). - AMD High confidence
AMD licensed FlexGen NoC IP for chiplet AI SoCs — a structural adoption as chiplet architectures spread and on-chip wiring IP becomes more essential; a large-customer design win that leads to production royalties. - Infineon Technologies High confidence
Infineon, the leading MCU maker, licensed Arteris interconnect IP for automotive microcontrollers (2024) - Arteris's strategic expansion into MCUs. - GigaDevice High confidence
Automotive MCU design win (2024): GigaDevice adopted Arteris NoC IP for its automotive chips. - SiEngine High confidence
SiEngine (ECARX/Xingji-Meizu JV) licensed FlexNoC for its next-generation automotive cockpit/ADAS SoC platform (June 2026, repeat customer).Confirms EN GlobeNewswire Published Jun 24, 2026: Arteris technology licensed by SiEngine for next-gen automotive SoCs - Samsung Electronics Medium confidence
Licenses NoC IP into Samsung SoCs — a revenue line expanding as core counts and complexity in mobile/automotive SoCs rise; large-customer dependence is also concentration risk.
Pays to
- R&D · EDA (undisclosed) Low confidence
R&D in NoC IP and SoC automation plus EDA-tool costs — development that folds new requirements (chiplets, functional safety) into the IP is the source of the royalty pipeline (undisclosed). - Personnel · operations (undisclosed) Low confidence
Design headcount and operating costs are the cost core of an IP company — once license revenue exceeds payroll, royalties compound as leverage above fixed costs (undisclosed).

YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance
The thesis is whether on-chip interconnect IP royalties compound in the chiplet and AI-SoC era. FlexNoC, FlexGen and Ncore design the data wiring inside chips and chiplets; AMD licensed FlexGen for chiplet AI, and Infineon, GigaDevice and SiEngine adopted it for automotive MCUs/SoCs — design-stage licenses lead to production royalties, so royalties (+50%) are the earnings leverage. As SoCs grow more complex (chiplets, multicore), the need for NoC rises, a structural demand, with automotive expansion the new growth axis. The risks are dependence on a few large customers (AMD, Samsung) and competition from IP giants like Arm and Synopsys.
