Google Tensor chip

Google discussed its new custom Tensor chip today (replacing the previous Snapdragon 765G) and how it changes the game for its Pixel phones. It can improve voice recognition and image interpretation among other handy features like translating messages and videos without the internet. It brings massive new machine learning capabilities greater than anything we’ve seen on Pixel phones so far.
