Huami's 'first AI-powered wearable chipset' takes aim at Apple Watch

#artificialintelligence

It's been the month of wearable silicon – and off the back of the news of the Amazfit Verge, Huami announced that its developed the "world's first AI-powered wearable chipset" – the Huangshan No. 1. For the uninitiated, Huami is a Chinese hardware company, pretty much backed by Xiaomi. It's been turning out some pretty impressive devices, including the Amazfit Bip and Amazfit Stratos, both of which have mustered decent Wareable reviews. Well, Gizmochina says that the Huangshan No.1 features four core intelligence engines: namely, a cardiac biometric engine, ECG, ECG Pro and Heart Rhythm Abnormality engine. That's clearly a pretty big claim to Apple, aping (in true Huami style) pretty much all the lead features of the Apple Watch Series 4 unveiled last week. It's using the RISC-V open source architecture that's getting ARM pretty worked up at the moment, and claims a boost of 38% in performance over the ARM Cortex-M4.
