Google, a major IT company in the United States, announced that it will install the semiconductors it has developed on the latest smartphones for the first time in order to expand the functions of AI = artificial intelligence.
This was revealed by Google on the 2nd.
According to this, it means that the latest smartphone, "Pixel 6", which will be released in the fall, will be equipped with the semiconductor developed in-house for the first time.
Semiconductors are the brains of smartphones, and we have used commercially available products, but he explained that there was a limit to expanding the functions of AI.
By using its own semiconductors, it is possible to leave clear images when shooting moving people such as children and things with a camera, and it is possible to translate instantly on a smartphone.
Google CEO Pichai tweeted, "I'm excited to share with you the in-house semiconductors we've made over the course of four years."
The price of the latest smartphones has not been clarified, but it is expected to be in the higher price range than conventional products.
Since the release date is expected to overlap with Apple's latest smartphone "iPhone 13" already equipped with its own semiconductor, the American media reports that it will be a direct confrontation between the two companies.
