Integrating neural processing units directly onto smartphone System-on-Chips (SoCs) has reached a critical trade-off point between thermal management and computational throughput. Handset manufacturers face strict wattage ceilings in fanless form factors.
Unified Memory Bottlenecks
Large language models require high RAM capacity and wide memory buses to run locally without severe latency. Chipmakers are optimizing dynamic quantization algorithms to compress weights without degrading output fidelity.
