Oppo's new MariSilicon X NPU will take the Find X series image quality to the next level

14 December 2021
It also comes with its own ISP and memory.

AnonF-1042069, 14 Dec 2021Better than M1 in battery consumption.Sure, one was created as a laptop processor and another for a phone, I can't think of which one could consume less, it's as if you said it was better than i9 just because it consumes less

    DGg, 14 Dec 2021This probably will be better than M1 and M1 proIt is not even the same type of chip, there is no way to compare it, M1 is a Full Chip, this just an NPU

      BlytheMasters, 14 Dec 2021In 15 years? LoL why not in 27.5 years? or even 43.63 year... moreThis applies to all phones.

      But people do not seem to get this. They think 50MP out of phone is not much behind a 50MP out of pro 📷, when it is way behind even 12MP micro 4/3 📷.

      The people that do not believe can do easy test. Print photo from the phone, good size like 28in x 21 in. To see how bad it looks.

        Even with regular ISP from CPU, the WRGB quadbayer can still save 2 frames (one rggb and one monochrome) to overlap them later.

        The idea of own ISP is to have more controls and also add something not provided by the CPU's ISP.

          AnonD-1029961, 14 Dec 2021Do they gonna have 20 bit sensors? NONor Oppo. Because they are gonna keep imx766, which is 12-bit sensor.
          No sensor maker has 20-bit to sell.
          Not for phones, photo cameras, video cameras or security system.

            This is not some imagination, Quantum Dot is already going to replace CMOS by 2025 and Samsung themselves said they are going to bbring 600MP mobile sensors by 2026.

              Why should I care how the picture quality will be in 15 years? I want to have good picture quality now (and of course in the past).

              Mark my word puppy: When the X4 will be released next year it will produce pictures that are identical to the other phones out there that have standard components installed. The pictures will look great on a small screen but look f*cked up on a high resolution screen (>4k).

                  And it does not process RGB White pixel array


                  So how does oppo copying something that does not exist in a pixel phone not even the pixel 6 can do this.. what's your explanation??

                            The title sounds like an ad. Chinese companies always have mouths full of promises but they never deliver.

                                Yukvgffh, 14 Dec 2021The snapdragon 888+ can do more than 20TOPS, this can only do 18Still the SD888 powered phone can do only 2 images per second with 1.7 watts compared to the custom NPU+ISP MariSilicon's 40 images per second and 0.75 watts power consumption. The SD consumes more than double the energy and only capable of 1/20 performance.

                                Qualcomm should be the next intel.
