Your device will be 11% faster and the battery will last 6% more but it will dramatically change the way you interact with your device.

If it’s enough to run on-device ai, it’s a win. Imagine autocorrect being able to mangle your texting without ever connecting to the cloud. Huge prvacy win.

With the goggles coming soon, I think they’ll focus chip improvements on GPU and neural engine to better support that

Autocorrect doesn't send anything to the cloud, it's just a dictionary. If your keyboard is sending your texts to the cloud you have to change your keyboard, not run AI. AI doesn't do autocorrect, it could maybe do word suggestions but would be super inefficient at it and probably not much better than current methods.

I'm writing thins on a 22 nm CPU and the letter appear hella fast.
