A great read from Semiconductor Engineering on all the challenges and trade-offs developers are facing as they work to incorporate AI into Edge devices. Though edge encompasses a wide range of devices the act of balancing performance needs with cost will vary from product to product. John Weil, Vice President and General Manager of IoT and Edge AI Processor Business at Synaptics, joins in on the discussion to set the stage for how edge and IoT devices are changing and how we are working with customers to strike that balance and not "over-engineer" the problem as he says. That is why we created the Synaptics Astra?? AI-Native IoT compute platform to help device makers look at more optimized scenarios. https://lnkd.in/gpm6YjWc #SynapticsAstra
