[p]3 out of 4 smart phones are forecast to have dedicated Artificial Intelligence (AI) processors by the end of 2022, Research reported on Friday.[p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p]Sales of AI smart phones would increase to 1,250 million units in 2022 from 190 million in 2018, representing more than three-quarters of all smart phones shipping in that year."We see voice assistants as one of the first applications to benefit from device-based processing," Gareth Owen, Associate Research Director at Counterpoint Research, said in a statement.

[br][p]Two years on, virtually all other SoC vendors are following suit. For example, Qualcomm is offering an AI Tensor Accelerator in the Snapdragon 855's Hexagon DSP for the first time, the report said.[p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p]The key benefits of this are higher AI processing performance and lower power consumption. However, this must be balanced against the actual need for AI processing, which until recently has been limited, it added."Today, most voice processing in smart phones is Cloud-based. However, voice assistants will be able to process commands quicker and respond faster with on-device processing. It also resolves privacy concerns," Owen added.[p style="text-align: center;"]
[br][p]Smart phones have been leveraging the capabilities of AI for some time. However, till now the processing has been done either in the Cloud or distributed across the various computer chips in devices such as CPUs, GPUs and DSPs.As AI becomes part of the mobile experience, smart phone system-on-chip (SoC) vendors are racing to improve the machine learning (ML) capabilities of their chips by integrating dedicated AI processing cores into their designs.[p][br][p style="text-align: right;"]Source:- NDTV |
