What is Apple Neural Engine?

Apple Neural Engine (ANE) is a specialized hardware accelerator designed by Apple to efficiently perform machine learning and artificial intelligence tasks on Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad.

ANE is optimized for neural networks, providing high performance with low power consumption. This allows complex machine learning models to run directly on the device (edge computing), without sending data to the cloud, which increases speed and privacy.

Examples of ANE usage include face recognition, image processing, voice assistants, and other AI tasks integrated into iOS and applications.

Thus, Apple Neural Engine significantly enhances the capabilities of mobile devices in AI, enabling fast and energy-efficient neural network processing.
