Like other mobile chip designers, Samsung is expected to integrate a dedicated component for artificial intelligence into its Galaxy S9 smartphone that already promises solid performance.
As smartphones increasingly rely on deep learning and computer vision, chip designers have begun to integrate dedicated components into their hardware platforms.
Apple and Huawei are offering SoC with a specific chip that unloads the CPU from these specific tasks, while Qualcomm offers a decentralized approach that uses chips already present (GPU, DSP, ISP ...) of its SnapDragon SoCs.
The next player to propose a dedicated component should be Samsung.
According to the Korea Herald, the Korean manufacturer has finalized its own NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and plans to integrate it into its mobile devices, starting with the Galaxy S9 expected next month, although it is the Galaxy Note 9 that should fully exploit its capabilities in the second half of the year.

From an industrial source, its processing capabilities would be as high, if not more, than the best NPU chips in the mobile market, with a processing capacity of at least 4 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second). Samsung would arrive later than its competitors but with an optimized solution.
For the development of its NPU, Samsung would not have skimped on collaborations with research institutes and investments around research projects on artificial intelligence.
