Lenovo to Launch PC with Startup AI Accelerators for Efficient Image Recognition
- Lenovo launching ThinkCentre Neo Ultra PC in June with potential AI accelerators from startups MemryX and Kinara
- PC makers adding discrete AI chips as stopgap until Intel/AMD integrate AI capabilities into CPUs
- MemryX MX3 PCIe card has 4 chips, 10 TFLOPs each, low power consumption
- Kinara launched Ara-2 Edge AI processor last fall, also focused on low power
- AI accelerators positioned for image recognition now but could expand to other use cases like games, avatars, chatbots
