Samsung Brings AI To Exynos Chipset, It Can Save Phone Power

JAKARTA - Samsung's new Exynos chipset is rumored to be using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. To deliver this software, Samsung teamed up with Synopsys, a leading chip design software company.

Summarized from Gizchina, Wednesday, August 18, dubbed as DSO.ai, this technology uses a machine learning technique called reinforcement learning to work on the design of a chip. This technology can automatically draw the basics of a design, including the placement of components and linking them together.

This is achieved by trying different designs in the simulation and learning which one produces the best results. DSO.ai has significantly improved design speed. Synopsys says it has increased chip frequency by 18 percent in some cases, reduced power consumption by 21 percent, and shortened engineering time from six months to one month.

In addition, AI will continue to learn independently to improve its capabilities. So the longer you work, the smarter you become. That is, in the future, it will design faster chips. Synopsys is one of the world's largest suppliers of chip design software (EDA). According to the company, DSO.ai is the first commercial AI software for processor design.

Samsung is one of the first companies to design chips using artificial intelligence. However, other companies like Google and NVIDIA have talked about designing chips using AI before.

A few months ago, Google researchers explained that they had used AI to manage components on the Tensor chip, which is used to train and run AI programs in its data centers. Google's upcoming smartphone, the Pixel 6 series, will be equipped with a special chip manufactured by Samsung.
