\tMediaTek sought to bring machine learning capabilities to more mid-market smartphones, adding compatibility with Google\u2019s ML Kit to its Helio P90 chipset.<\/p>\n
ML Kit enables developers to add Google\u2019s machine learning capabilities to Android and iOS apps using a few lines of code or a standard API. MediaTek said it adapted ML Kit\u2019s models to ensure they can effectively be accelerated on the P90’s built-in APU 2.0 processing unit.<\/p>\n
TL Lee, general manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communication business, said in a statement that adding ML Kit compatability will provide \u201cthe right tools for smartphone users of all levels to apply machine learning to everyday apps” and help deliver “new premium features to the mass market”.<\/p>\n
The move follows MediaTek\u2019s unveiling of the Helio P90 in December 2018. The chipset features a strong focus on artificial intelligence and camera capabilities, and launched with support for Google Lens and ARCore.<\/p>\n
MediaTek forecast revenue in the current quarter will come in at between TWD48.7 billion ($1.6 billion) and TWD53.5 billion, but\u00a0DigiTimes\u00a0reported strong sales of the Helio P90 are expected to help drive revenue to more than TWD60 billion in Q2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
