* Compared with the CPU on actual QCS6490 hardware. LLM: prefill of 2,048 input tokens with Gemma 4 E2B. Speech recognition: Whisper Large-v3-Turbo. Overall processing is not uniformly accelerated by these factors.

* The on-screen UI is for illustration purposes only.

* QCS6490 refers to Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s IoT processor "Dragonwing™ QCS6490."

Bringing AI closer to everyday devices.

  • Runs Fast

    The NPU takes on heavy AI workloads, speeding up speech recognition and LLM input processing.

  • Lighter CPU Load

    AI processing doesn't tie up the CPU, making it easy to combine with the device's core tasks.

  • Fully On-Device

    AI inference runs on the device itself, so it also suits use cases without a network connection.

* Power consumption and continuous-operation conditions vary depending on the device configuration.

This is how fast it runs on QCS6490.

ailia LLM

LLM Prefill: ~3.9x Faster!*

Speeds up reading long text and shortens the time until the AI starts responding to image-based prompts.

*Gemma 4 E2B / prefill of 2,048 tokens / NPU vs. CPU

ailia AI Speech

Speech Recognition: ~13.2x Faster!*

Transcribes about 40 seconds of audio in about 7.7 seconds, for smoother voice control.

*Whisper Large-v3-Turbo / actual QCS6490 hardware / NPU vs. CPU

View Detailed Results

* Both results are from published benchmarks under specific conditions. The speedup differs for other processes, such as LLM text generation.

AI capabilities like these, for industrial equipment.

  • Voice Control

    Converts speech to text so the AI can understand instructions, helping with equipment status checks and data entry.

  • Understand Camera Images

    Ask questions about captured images or have the AI describe what is happening.

  • Connect to Business Systems

    Build mechanisms that pull up equipment information and business data in response to questions to the AI.
