Worldwide Edge and Endpoint AI Processing Forecast, 2022-2026

This IDC study provides the forecast for the edge and endpoint AI processing market for the 2022-2026 period."The speed of adoption of AI at the endpoint is growing rapidly. Because endpoint systems often have physical limitations such as energy consumption and form factor, integrated AI-efficient host processors or the use of discrete AI accelerators is a key enabler of AI at the endpoint," said Nina Turner, research manager in IDC's Enabling Technologies and Semiconductor research team. "AI functionality is enabling devices to become more intelligent, and semiconductor vendors that can provide the strongest AI design and software ecosystem will win."
