Deep neural network chip from Intel®

Prototype and deploy deep neural network (DNN) applications smarter and more efficiently with a tiny, fanless, deep learning development kit designed to enable a new generation of intelligent devices.

The new, improved Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 (Intel® NCS 2) features Intel’s latest high-performance vision processing unit: the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU. With more compute cores and a dedicated hardware accelerator for deep neural network inference, the Intel® NCS 2 delivers up to eight times the performance boost compared to the previous generation Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick (NCS).
