The Pixel Watch 4 is set to feature a new M55 co-processor for improved AI performance and energy efficiency, a brighter display up to 3,000 nits, and enhanced battery life, with up to 48 hours on the 41mm model and 72 hours on the 45mm model, while retaining the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip and similar storage and RAM as before.
A developer has created a 160-core RISC V supercluster on a single M.2 board using low-speed CH32V003 cores, demonstrating its potential with a raymarcher demo, despite communication bottlenecks over PCIe.
Apple is reportedly planning to integrate its first-ever co-processor in the next-gen iPhone 15 series, which will keep some functions going on extremely low or even no power. The new features are expected to include utilities like NFC, "LE Bluetooth and LE-UW," as well as solid-state buttons. These features are thought to be found in iOS 17, possibly for the "Pro model" iPhone 15 variants only.
