The difference between AI chips and ordinary chips in the past: mobile phone AI chips can process various AI operators at a speed of about 30 times to 50 times. Taking a photo scene as an example, the AI chip can do a better image detection, image segmentation and image semantic understanding. In addition, the sound can be heard and understood, and according to the understanding of customer intentions to provide customers really want services.
For example, the Kirin 970, which has a built-in independent neural network unit (NPU), can process about 2,005 images per minute, compared to 97 images per minute without NPU. Of course, other application scenarios have also become more powerful with the blessing of AI.
