AI can enhance user experience, provide valuable services and improve product performance,\u201d said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. \u201cThe Huawei Mate 10 Series introduces the first mobile AI-specific Neural Network Processing Unit, launching a new era of intelligent smartphones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kirin 970 is built using an advanced TSMC 10nm semiconductor manufacturing process, and features an octa-core ARM Cortex CPU, a first-to-market Mali G72 12-core GPU and the first NPU designed specifically for a mobile device. The Kirin 970 also has a new dual ISP for AI-powered intelligent photography.<\/p>\n<p>The specialised NPU, combined with Huawei\u2019s innovative HiAI mobile computing platform, means the Kirin 970 delivers 25x better performance and 50x greater energy efficiency for AI-related tasks,\u00a0compared to four Cortex-A73 cores. The Huawei I Mate 10 Series is also the world\u2019s fastest smartphone supporting super-fast LTE connectivity and download speeds. The device comes with the world\u2019s first dual 4G SIM support and dual VoLTE connections.<\/p>\n<p>By combining individual and collective intelligence for on-device AI, the new Huawei Mate Series delivers real-time responses to users, including AI-powered Real-Time Scene and Object Recognition and an AI Accelerated Translator.
