How custom SoCs enable differentiation in the era of 8K, 5G and AI - asmag.com

Needless to say, 8K, 5G and AI rank as some of the major technology trends of the day. However, with a vast number of solutions being rolled out to suit these trends, how to differentiate has become a key element for solutions providers to win out. In this regard, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-based systems-on-chips (SoCs), where differentiation is done at the chip level, can help manufacturers design systems and solutions that are truly unique and special, meeting customers' specific requirements. With 5G providing bandwidth 10 times than that for 4G, 8K video is an ideal choice for telecom operators seeking to provide new applications and contents to generate revenue out of their 5G service. Meanwhile, the need for smarter software and algorithms to help end users across verticals achieve further efficiency and business intelligence has triggered demands for AI.
