NPU - AI Accelerator for ASUS Tinker Edge R
The AI Accelerator (NPU) makes the Tinker Edge R ideal for AI applications. The Machine Learning (ML) Accelerator – Rockchip NPU not only optimizes its speed but also the performance and efficiency while consuming less power.
The salient benefits of the AI Accelerator are:
- High speed, i.e., 3 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS)
- Low power consumption
- Designed for Neural Network Architecture ideal for multiple ML frameworks
A single inference time with several popular models (in milliseconds – lower the better)
