Whether you realize it or not, the era of AI chips is really coming!

Not long ago, I made an exposition: 5G mobile phones can not be separated from 5G network, even from AI chips. At present, all parties around the world are looking forward to the arrival of Qualcomm 5G mobile phones. However, before the first batch of 5G chips in the world is scheduled to go on sale, all parties should first compete with each other in the field of AI chip research and development and landing capabilities. Without the technical foundation of AI, there will be no high-performance chips to participate in future competition.

Recently, media reports said that Liande Technologies will hold a conference on December 13 to release an AI chip, Helio P90. We have always been good at mobile phone "spoiler" media, release a lot of data ahead of time, especially the AI run-point data of this chip, has ranked the world's first-line level, and Kirin 980, Miaolong 8150 and so on.

In fact, in recent years, the relatively low-key technology of Mediated Development has started the relevant layout of AI chips several years ago (such as Core Pilot Architecture Technology launched in 2013), and has made some explorations on behalf of the industry in advance. And as early as January this year, after years of research and development, the United Development Section officially launched the world's first fully compatible Android. neural network API's Neuroplot Artificial Intelligence Platform, a complete set of artificial intelligence solutions, through the integration of hardware (AI processor) and software, to enable all kinds of consumer electronic products with AI capabilities.

The launch of this platform has attracted wide attention from all sides. At that time, the analysis believed that although this is a brand new platform, still a long way from large-scale commercial, it has laid a technical and platform foundation for the popularization of AI chips and even for the future commercial use of 5G mobile phones.

Only half a year later, the "subversive" Helio P90 chips came into the market completely new, without launching, triggered many expectations, "What kind of AI chip is this, can it accelerate the landing and popularization of 5G mobile phones"? Of course, all these are unknown, and need to wait for the 13-day press conference to reveal.

However, regarding the development of AI chips, the whole industry has always had different opinions and disputes besides continuing to explore and develop. Today we will talk about these topics.

So when all sides are talking about AI chips, what exactly are you talking about? For a long time, there has been a long-standing debate about the performance of AI chips and the function of VS. In my opinion, the core of AI chip lies in the capability of technology research and development and related architecture. Performance is the only criterion to test the level of research and development. Whether the performance is strong or not is directly related to the terminal landing ability of an AI chip.
