Intel Launches World’s 1st SoC With Dedicated Neural Compute Engine

Movidius, now an Intel subsidiary, was acquired by Intel last September. It was known to add sight capabilities to different hardware systems. Now, the company claims to have created the world’s first Visual Processing Unit (VPU) with a dedicated Neural Computer Engine that can
deliver over 1 trillion operations per second of dedicated neural networks computation.

Named Myriad X, this VPU aims to deliver artificial intelligence capabilities in a low-power and high-performance package. The chip combines computer vision processing, dedicated imaging, and high-performance deep learning inference within the same chip.

As per Intel’s announcement, the company aims to provide faster and more pervasive intelligence to the devices for making them safer and more productive. movidius myriad x vpu

The application of Myriad X can be seen in autonomous delivery drones, personal robots, security cameras, autonomous vehicles. Due to its tiny form factor, this VPU can have further applications in smart devices.

Apart from the Neural Computer Engine, which can run deep neural networks in real time, Myriad X’s 16 Programmable 128-bit VLIW Vector Processors can run multiple concurrent applications. It also features 16 Configurable MIPI Lanes, and 2.5MB Homogenenous On-Chip Memory.

Intel is offering two chip packages for Myriad X. While one package has no memory, the other one as 4 Gbit LPDDR4 memory.

Reddit Transforms Into a Social Network But It Has Only ‘Three Users’

Reddit is working on social network-styled user profiles allowing Redditors to post content in their name and follow other profiles. Reddit’s co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Shitty_Watercolour, and Riot Games are the three users who have been given a profile each for the alpha testing. User profiles will roll out to all the users in the coming months.
