RESEARCH PAPER: Qualcomm: Ubiquitous AI For 5G

By Patrick Moorhead, Karl Freund - October 14, 2019

Smartphones today are the pervasive interface for some three billion people to communicate, take photos and videos, and access personal data and applications—all of which are increasingly dependent on AI and Deep Learning. Consequently, mobile processors must accelerate a wide range of AI features in applications, including image processing, voice recognition, translation and gaming. It is critical that the mobile semiconductors are fast but also must be extremely power-efficient to help conserve battery life.
