Edge AI Chips Take to the Field

Airplanes and automobiles, databases and personal computers – all entities with ubiquitous form factors today, but that started out with diverging architectures. So it's not surprising that the shape of edge AI chip technology is similarly diversified. These are nascent days for AI chips. And with numerous designs in the market, there's unlikely to be a common architecture anytime soon. Today, established vendors and startup chip houses alike have jumped into the fray in a bid to complement or displace conventional microprocessors and controllers.
