On the morning of August 29th, Beijing time, Intel officially announced the release of the next-generation Movidius vision processing chip this week. This chip boasts enhanced computational capabilities and is designed for use in cutting-edge devices such as drones, virtual reality headsets, smart cameras, wearable tech, and robotics.
Movidius, now a subsidiary of Intel, was acquired by the tech giant in September. The company specializes in developing machine and PC vision technologies. The latest Visual Processing Unit (VPU), built on the Myriad X system-on-chip, features an independent compute engine capable of supporting edge deep-learning inference.
As seen in the image below, the chip’s design focuses heavily on deep neural networks, allowing for faster execution of these networks while consuming less power. According to Intel, during deep neural network inference tasks, the chip's dedicated neural accelerator can perform over one trillion operations per second.
Remi El-Ouazzane, Vice President of Intel, stated: “We are at the forefront of computer vision technology. Deep learning is becoming the standard technology for billions of devices around us, permeating our daily lives. Enhancing human vision through artificial intelligence represents a significant leap forward in computing.â€
The Myriad X chip is compact yet powerful, making it an ideal VPU for Intel's own device platforms. Besides the neural engine, it includes a 128-bit Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) vector processor, an increased number of configurable MIPI lanes, enhanced visual accelerators, and 2.5MB of on-chip homogeneous memory.
This advancement in vision processing technology not only improves efficiency but also opens up new possibilities in how devices interact with the world around them. As industries continue to embrace AI-driven solutions, chips like the Myriad X will play a crucial role in shaping the future of intelligent systems.
With its impressive capabilities and versatility, the Myriad X is set to become a key player in the rapidly expanding field of machine vision. Intel's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and computer vision ensures that we can expect even more groundbreaking innovations in the near future.
