| Description | Ultra-low power Myriad 2 VPU (Vision Processing Unit) for embedded AI and machine vision applications, delivering high-performance neural network inference with 4GB LP-DDR3 memory. |
Product Overview
The MA2450 is the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU), a heterogeneous multi-core SoC designed for ultra-low-power embedded artificial intelligence and machine vision. Manufactured by Movidius (later acquired by Intel), this chip combines 12 programmable VLIW DSP cores with dedicated hardware accelerators for computer vision and deep learning. Operating at 600–933 MHz with 4GB LP-DDR3 memory, it delivers efficient AI inference at power levels as low as 500mW (typical) or 1.5W–2.5W in complex facial recognition applications.
Core Advantages
Ultra-Low Power, High Performance
Operating at just 500mW typical power consumption (1.5W–2.5W for complex tasks), the MA2450 balances performance and efficiency. Its specialized architecture enables advanced deep learning inference without draining device batteries, making it ideal for portable and always-on applications.
Dedicated Vision & Neural Accelerators
The Myriad 2 architecture integrates 12 programmable VLIW DSP cores and dedicated hardware blocks for image processing, feature extraction, and neural network acceleration. This allows it to run advanced computer vision algorithms with minimal latency.
Compact Embedded Integration
Housed in a VF2BGA270 package (9.5mm × 8.0mm), the MA2450 is designed for space-constrained systems. It is widely used in the Intel Neural Compute Stick and embedded AI devices.
Optimized for Edge AI Deployment
Supporting frameworks like Caffe and TensorFlow, the chip allows developers to deploy pre-trained models directly to edge devices. This eliminates the need for cloud connectivity, enabling offline, real-time processing.
