Nordic Semiconductor Launches nRF71 Chip Family with On-Device AI
What happened
Nordic Semiconductor introduced its nRF71 chip family, which is designed for battery-powered connected devices. The new series includes models like the nRF7120 and nRF7120E, which incorporate an Axon neural processing unit (NPU) and support multiple wireless links simultaneously. The company stated the chips can use up to 20 times less standby power than its previous nRF70 Wi-Fi products.
