"Edge AI is one of the biggest trends in chip technology. ARM is expanding its efforts in the field with two new chip designs. The first is a Cortex-M55 which is paired with Ethos-U55, a neural processing unit meant for more demanding use cases. The dedicated NPU can offer up to 32x improvement in machine learning processing compared to the base Cortex-M55, and a total of 480x better processing compared to the previous generations of Cortex-M chips." - Anish Khajuria

Key Takeaways:

A big benefit to speed when it comes to handling the requests and small calculations as AI chip functions better than CPU in arithmetic problems.
It can solve privacy and security issues as you no longer have to do the routine AI processes like sending and receiving data to a cloud server.
Battery consumption may also reduce as there will be less CPU usage.
