Timeline (last 90 days)
Unlike the general-purpose parallel computing of GPUs, the neural engine adopts a more specialized dataflow architecture and can deliver higher inference throughput at the same power consumption.
The neural engine can let voice wake-up, sound source localization, noise reduction, and some natural language processing be completed locally rather than all uploaded to the cloud.
Apple's custom Neural Engine chip enables complex AI processing to be completed entirely on-device without relying on the cloud.
