Google partners with Movidius to bring machine learning to future mobile devices

A new partnership between Google and chip maker Movidius could change the way your phone looks at the world. According to Movidius, Google will be licensing Movidius' latest flagship chip, the MA2450, along with the accompanying software stack. The chip has 12 cores, and is able to perform low power, advanced computer vision processing. One possible use for this could be Google's Project Tango. Google is partnering with Lenovo on a smartphone that would be able to sense where it is, how it's positioned, and what's around it, which opens the door for many new software opportunities.
