Lattice, Google, Lenovo Announce Joint Chromecast ML Effort

Lattice Semiconductor, Google and Lenovo collaborated to equip the IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook with machine learning experiences, they said Thursday. The effort combines hardware and software expertise from the three companies to enable user presence detection and privacy features in the 2-in-1 laptop that's powered by low-power field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in Lattice’s Nexus platform. Lattice’s FPGAs and software make it easier for OEMs to add AI, computer vision and security features to their designs without sacrificing power efficiency, said Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Esam Elashmawi.
