An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
We’ve been anticipating the arrival of an enterprise edge of millions of intelligent personal and IoT devices supporting sensory and inference application capabilities for years.
We’re starting to see the constraints to this connected dream fall away: containerization of software and platforms, miniaturization and the ready availability of 5G from carriers and cloud providers. Ambiq is making a gambit that their range of tiny integrated chips will fulfill the last requirement of secure compute power on the edge–without so much need for power.
There are limitless applications for endpoints that can communicate through multiple types of RF protocols, and their sub-threshold technology allows processors to maintain an ultra-low-power ready state in between transmissions and compute workloads.
What’s coolest here is that as the compute-to-power ratio improves, it unlocks the ability to run decision algorithms and even ML-based inferences on the endpoint processors, from presenting health information from wearables, to voice recognition in smart cars, to remote GPS tracking of assets in a supply chain, and alerting managers of equipment conditions on a factory floor.
