Okay with I/O down for the year, I'm a bit more fired up for a 4. My interest in tech is rooted in software advancements, so I enjoy I/O a bit more than the fall hardware announcement. This year, it's great to see the advancements that Google is pushing with more on device AI/ML. That got me thinking about the hardware for 4 (and the 5 too) moving more AI on device.
We've discussed before about Google doing their own silicon. Do we see it in the 4 this fall? I mean, if you can put a Titan M chip in the Pixel 3 and you've already developed a smaller custom TPU with the Edge TPU mean for IoT, how much further off can we be from some version of an Edge TPU making it to Pixel?
Might as well turn every Pixel into a mini server right now. Why not the 4?
