Synaptics Incorporated

We're getting in the holiday spirit here at Synaptics ??? Yesterday, the team at HQ organized a gift-wrapping event to wrap over 300 gifts for Family Giving Tree recipients. It was a great opportunity to give back to the community while engaging in a little friendly competition for the best wrapping skills ???? Thanks to all who participated, you're all winners. And best holiday wishes to the recipients!

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

Mike Green of #EPDT catches up with our own Nebu Philips to chat about the challenges of Edge AI implementation due to the fragmented IoT development environment and how that differs from the more established data center driven AI approach. Catch their full conversation here, including how Synaptics Astra?? AI-Native IoT compute platform is addressing these challenges for IoT device makers no matter your experience with AI implementation, from beginner to expert. https://lnkd.in/evsunMVv

Have you ever read a review and felt like you have already used the product because it was so incredibly detailed and well written? This review of our TBT-6950PD docking station, which merges the power of Thunderbolt with Synaptics Incorporated DisplayLink universal compatibility, is just that! Thanks Simon Jary and Macworld for such a detailed review! https://lnkd.in/g4ntGBj7

Our #EdgeAI expert Augustine Nebu Philips got things started at the Embedded Forum at electronicaFair today, delivering a keynote talk on a second AI super cycle that is expanding the focus of #AI from the datacenter to the Edge. He discussed trends and technology innovations to enable more personalized, automated and efficient user experiences using an #AINative approach to multi-modal processing. Developers can now implement context-aware computing in connected #IoT products that will forever change how we interact with machines across home, enterprise, and industrial applications. Thanks to EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times and Nitin Dahad for hosting us at this great event.
