Balanstech B1000 A board


In 2019, UniSoc developed the T710 System-On-Chip (SoC) for 5G mobile phones, with an octa-core processor containing four Cortex-A75 cores and four Cortex-A55 cores. The device features an Imagination PowerVR Graphics Processor (GPU: 9th generation GM9446), also used in MediaTek’s Helio P90 SoC. The T710 was also the first to include a dedicated neural-network Processing Unit (NPU) based on Imagination’s 2NX for artificial intelligence applications. This NPU has a heterogeneous dual-core architecture and delivers 2.5TOPS per watt.

The processor supports multiple AI framework formats, including TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Caffe, and multiple AI data formats such as quantization (INT4, INT8, INT16) and floating-point (FP16). Tiger T710 also works with Android NNAPI; UNISOC provides a proprietary SDK for more efficient development and deployment of third-party AI applications.

Balanstech of China produces an evaluation board using the T710 called the B100 A, which is available for purchase from Chinese Components Distributor OneYAC.

2019年,UniSoc开发了用于5G手机的T710系统芯片(SoC),其八核处理器包含四个Cortex-A75内核和四个Cortex-A55内核。该设备采用Imagination PowerVR图形处理器(GPU:第九代GM9446),该处理器也用于联发科的Helio P90 SoC。T710也是第一个包括一个基于Imagination的2NX的专用神经网络处理单元(NPU),用于人工智能应用。该NPU具有异构双核架构,每瓦可提供2.5TOPS。该处理器支持多种人工智能框架格式,包括TensorFlow、TensorFlow Lite、Caffe,以及多种人工智能数据格式,如量化(INT4、INT8、INT16)和浮点(FP16)。Tiger T710还与安卓NNAPI合作,UNISOC提供了一个专有的SDK,以更有效地开发和部署第三方AI应用。

中国的Balanstech公司生产了一块使用T710的评估板,称为B100 A,可从中国元件分销商OneYAC购买。
