Summary
Arm-native versions of these apps will allow developers to run them without the performance penalty associated with translating x86 code to run on Arm devices—especially helpful given that Arm Windows devices usually don't have much performance to spare.Previews of these tools will begin to be available "in the next few weeks."As for the Volterra hardware, what we know is that it's running a Qualcomm SoC with a built-in neural processing unit (NPU), "best-in-class AI computing capacity," and support for Qualcomm's Neural Processing SDK. We may not see Qualcomm's first M1-class competitor until late 2023, well after Volterra is scheduled to be released.Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.You must login or create an account to comment.Join the Ars Orbital Transmission mailing list to get weekly updates delivered to your inbox.
