EdgeLock Secure Enclave provides hardware-root-of-trust for secure boot, updates, attestation, and secure device access, complemented by EdgeLock 2GO key management for provisioning.

Security is anchored by the EdgeLock Secure Enclave with advanced profile, supporting secure boot, secure updates, device attestation, and access control, and can be paired with EdgeLock 2GO for provisioning.

It enables coordinated, local AI agents for physical AI applications, including smart buildings, healthcare wearables and diagnostics, industrial automation, energy infrastructure, and smart home hubs.

The SoC features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 with an Arm Ethos NPU up to 1.8 eTOPs and integrated IW610 tri-radio (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee) supporting Matter and efficient coexistence.

Sampling is planned for the second half of 2026, with no benchmarking or power figures disclosed yet.

A release FAQ clarifies connectivity features, AI performance, sampling timeline, and security provisions.

Availability is planned for sampling in the second half of 2026, and more information is available on NXP’s i.MX93W product page.

NXP intends to begin sampling the i.MX 93W in the second half of 2026, signaling near-term access for developers and manufacturers.

Further details on timing and access are also published on NXP’s site.

From an investor standpoint, AI-related news has historically driven positive price moves for NXPI, with an average past move around 5% for AI-tagged events.

The SoC aims to reduce BOM and enable smaller form factors, aided by NXP software and eIQ AI enablement.

The i.MX 93W combines edge computing, AI acceleration, and secure wireless connectivity to replace up to 60 discrete components and simplify RF design with pre-certified reference designs.
