Artificial intelligence will become the key to driving changes in many industries. In the next few years, with the landing and development of 5G mobile communication technology, artificial intelligence will be distributed to the trillions of wireless edges, realizing the scale of artificial intelligence. In other words, artificial intelligence will inevitably move towards the terminal side.
According to data, by 2022, the cumulative shipments of smartphones will exceed 8.6 billion units. The huge scale of smartphones and the empowerment of 5G will become the most popular platform for artificial intelligence. By then, artificial intelligence will inevitably be brought to trillions of terminal devices. This is the inevitable migration of artificial intelligence to the terminal side. And mobile phones equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips have exceeded 1 billion, which is basically equivalent to one out of every 7 people in the world using a mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon chips. The huge scale of the mobile ecosystem gives Qualcomm a greater advantage in promoting the development of artificial intelligence to the terminal side. In order to distribute the computing power required by artificial intelligence from the cloud to smartphones and other terminals, and to bring artificial intelligence to the market and mass consumers, mobile phones, the most common terminal product, must be one of the main markets.
Qualcomm's research in the field of artificial intelligence can be traced back to 2007 when it launched its first artificial intelligence project. So far, three generations of artificial intelligence products have been launched, namely the first generation artificial intelligence product Snapdragon 820, the second generation artificial intelligence product Snapdragon 835, and the third generation artificial intelligence product Snapdragon 845. They have been widely used on smartphone terminals . Recently, Qualcomm also launched a new Snapdragon 710 chip, designed with an efficient architecture that supports artificial intelligence, integrated multi-core artificial intelligence engine (AI Engine), and has neural network processing capabilities. The Snapdragon 710 is the first mobile platform in the new Snapdragon 700 series product portfolio. It aims to surpass people's expectations for the current high-end mobile experience by bringing some top features to a wider range of users.
The process of artificial intelligence entering trillions of terminals requires the empowerment of artificial intelligence engines. In fact, the Snapdragon 660, Snapdragon 800 series, and the new Snapdragon 700 series already have Qualcomm's artificial intelligence engine, which makes artificial intelligence a standard feature in today's flagship phones or thousand yuan phones. Qualcomm's artificial intelligence engine is composed of multiple hardware and software to accelerate the artificial intelligence computing capabilities on the terminal side, thereby enhancing the user experience. In short, under the Qualcomm artificial intelligence engine system, the Hexagon vector processor, Adreno GPU and Kryo CPU on the Snapdragon chip are used as the hardware basis, and multiple software frameworks such as the Snapdragon neural processing engine and the Hexagon Neutral Network ( NN) and other libraries are heterogeneous computing solutions with interfaces.
Thanks to the empowerment of artificial intelligence engines, there are more and more application scenarios of artificial intelligence in mobile phones, such as smart photography, smart beauty, and smart voice assistants. Like the "Xiao Ai" voice assistant in Xiaomi mobile phones, one sentence wakes up and handles the complicated operations of the mobile phone. Behind this is the comprehensive upgrade of artificial intelligence algorithms, hardware, and software, as well as the expansion of the artificial intelligence ecosystem and influence. Take Xiaomi MIX 2S as an example. With the help of artificial intelligence engine, mobile phones can dynamically distribute and scientifically allocate artificial intelligence resources, maximize artificial intelligence computing efficiency, and provide mobile terminals with 3 times the performance of artificial intelligence.
With the support of artificial intelligence engines, smartphones can recognize scenes more accurately and quickly, and the types of recognition continue to increase. At the same time, AI-enabled applications are steadily growing: facial recognition, food classification, smart photo albums, single-shot background blur, and so on. At present, the artificial intelligence engine has covered the popular mid-to-high-end to flagship smartphones on the market. In addition to Xiaomi, OEM manufacturers such as vivo, OPPO, OnePlus, and Hammer have all launched products equipped with artificial intelligence engines.
For many years, Qualcomm has been leading the innovation in the mobile field. The next revolution in artificial intelligence has just begun. Qualcomm will continue to lead the development of the industry with its technical strength in the field of artificial intelligence no less than that of mobile communications.
