Description

Developments in AI Inferencing and Implications for Edge and Edge Infrastructure Processors


This IDC Market Perspective discusses different AI network types, implications for processors, key types of processors for AI, and methods for implementation. AI developments continue to change the semiconductor market. New methods for inferencing, changing bit precision for inference, new semiconductor manufacturing techniques for heterogeneous SoCs, and other developments must be taken into consideration in semiconductor design and choice."AI continues to evolve rapidly, and companies need to evaluate the development of semiconductor processors, taking new networks and the compute required into consideration," says Nina Turner, research director, IDC Enabling Technologies and Semiconductor team.
