A chip dedicated to artificial intelligence in the Samsung Galaxy S10?

The LinkedIn profile of a former Samsung employee mentions a second generation design mission of NPU (neural processing unit) for the South Korean giant. The specifications of this chip are not known at the moment but it reinforces the idea that the Exynos 9820 will benefit from a neural processing unit for artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The Huawei Kirin 980 processor already has one. No doubt this will become the norm in the chips of future flagships. It would not be surprising to see it arrive in this second generation of Samsung NPU.

The standard in future high-end smartphones

The Qualcomm equivalent of the Exynos 9820 should also include an NPU. Samsung did not use its first-generation NPU in the Exynos 9810, the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 processor, but it could do so for the Galaxy S10 which is expected for the beginning of next year.
