Exynos 2500 to characteristic Google TPU for improved AI capabilities

Samsung‘s Exynos 2500 for the Galaxy S25 sequence might convey enhancements in lots of areas past the CPU and GPU. In response to an X tipster, the brand new chipset will characteristic Google’s TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) for improved AI capabilities. It would additionally improve the software-hardware interplay.

Galaxy S25’s Exynos 2500 might use Google TPU to spice up AI capabilities

Samsung has been making Exynos chips for years however its know-how has all the time lagged behind the competitors. Its flagship chips have traditionally underperformed competing options from Qualcomm.

In response to @OreXda on X, Samsung will add Google TPU to the combo to boost the AI performance of the brand new Exynos.

For the previous few years, the Korean agency targeted on enhancing its neural and digital sign processors. Nevertheless, these enhancements didn’t considerably enhance the Android ML Layer or Google Cell Service System App Providers. The addition of Google TPU is anticipated to convey the specified enchancment. Time will inform how large of an enchancment we’re speaking about.

The tipster provides that the TPU will get into motion when the Google ML API code is detected on the app. It would improve the speed and efficiency of AI capabilities. Samsung is already engaged on sharpening its One UI software program in order that the Galaxy AI Mannequin and Android Machine Studying Interface work seamlessly with its gadgets. Google TPU might assist enhance software-hardware interplay.

The Galaxy S25 sequence is probably not all-Exynos
