Microsoft forced into more chip development
 

All the AI stuff

It is starting to look like there will be a new kid on the chip block, as Microsoft is being forced to hone skills of its own.

Vole wants to get into AI but managing the vast quantities of data that make it possible without making the devices too slow or draining the battery in minutes and wrecking the user experience.

Microsoft says it has the answer with a chip design for its HoloLens goggles -- an extra AI processor that analyzes what the user sees and hears right there on the device rather than wasting precious microseconds sending the data back to the cloud.
