The new silicon includes Qualcomm's X Elite chip for PCs and laptops and the Snapdragon Series 8 Gen 3 for high-end Android phones.
The speed at which a smartphone chip processes AI models could represent a new feature battleground between high-end Android phones from companies such as Asus, Sony and OnePlus versus Apple's iPhones, which are also getting new AI features on an annual basis.
Now, Qualcomm said, its smartphone chip can handle the bigger AI models used in generative AI — as many as 10 billion parameters.
That's still less than some of the biggest AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT3, which has about 175 billion parameters.
Qualcomm executives said these kinds of AI models can run on devices if the chips are fast enough and equipped with enough memory.
