Xiaolong 720 First Appeared: Qualcomm Also Has Npu Ai Unit?

At the end of May this year, Qualcomm issued a brand new 700 series of the first model of the Valon 710, which is located between the flagship and the mainstream of the main Valon 600, drawing on many of the advanced features of the former. The cost has been well controlled, so it is very suitable for the middle and high-end models. Now less than two months ago, Xiaolong 720's name has appeared again!

At present, there are no specific specifications for the 720 of the long dragon, only knowing that it is a strengthened version of the 710 of the Valon. It is said that the emphasis will be added to the NPU neural network computing unit (similar to the HUAWEI kylin 970), which is dedicated to the acceleration of the AI.

If it is true, this is the first time for the Valon, which is significant because the current platform does not have a special AI hardware unit, but is dependent on the AIE engine on the software side, and the efficiency is still low in a specific AI scene.

Interestingly, early on the Aeron 710 of the aeration 710 also mentioned the Valon 730, claiming that it will use the Samsung 8nm LPP process Manufacturing (10nm upgraded version), integrated two Kryo 4xx 2.3GHz, six Kryo 4xx 1.8GHz CPU core, and especially equipped with NPU 120 unit!

Taking into account the simultaneous exposure of Xiaolong 710 specifications and the official announcement is quite close, it seems that Xiaolong 720, NPU and Xiaolong 730 is still very promising.

At the end of the day, the news says at least three mobile phone manufacturers are developing the 720, of which Samsung is expected to start the first and a new Galaxy series.
