In the world of technology, innovations never stop. One of the most interesting concerns MediaTek, the Taiwanese company specializing in chip design for mobile devices. The company has announced that its upcoming flagship SoC (System on Chip), the Dimensity 9300, will be optimized to work with the platform artificial intelligence Llama 2. This news is particularly intriguing because Llama 2 can work in offline mode, thus making the devices even more autonomous and performing.
MediaTek and AI: a winning combination
MediaTek is working closely with Meta to optimize its SoC so that it can make the most of the capabilities of Llama 2. This AI platform is already available in offline mode on PC, offering users the ability to experience its features without the need for an Internet connection. The next step will be the integration of this technology into mobile devices, especially in smartphones equipped with the Dimension 9300 chip.
MediaTek's new chipset with AI will be equipped with a APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) improved and faster memory access speed, factors that will help to further improve the performance of AI. In addition, the company plans to launch a dedicated application that will allow access to Llama 2 directly from mobile devices. This means that future smartphones with the Dimension 9300 chip will be able to take advantage of the advanced AI features without the need to be connected to the Internet.
Comparison with the competition
It's no secret that too other companies like Qualcomm are working on similar solutions. However, according to some rumors, MediaTek's new chip could outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 thanks to the presence of four Cortex-X4 cores. However, this information has not yet been officially confirmed.
The first smartphones equipped with the new Dimension 9300 chip are expected to be available on the market by the end of 2023. With the introduction of this new technology, MediaTek positions itself as a key player in the technological landscape, offering innovative solutions that could change the way we interact with our devices.
