Anker’s THUS AI Chip Platform Brings Neural-Net AI To Consumer Devices

The custom chip moves AI processing into NOR flash memory and is designed to support larger models with up to 150 times more computing power, Anker said.

  • Anker unveiled its custom THUS chip, the first neural-net Compute-in-Memory AI audio platform designed for upcoming Soundcore flagship earbuds, with full product details arriving at Anker Day on May 21 in New York.
  • Traditional silicon chips, based on 1945 designs by mathematician John von Neumann, waste over 90% of power moving data between memory and processors. THUS integrates computation directly into NOR Flash memory cells, conserving energy by mimicking the human brain's structure.
  • The chip introduces "Clear Calls," utilizing eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors to isolate voices. Anker claims the new architecture delivers up to 150 times more AI computing power for noise cancellation than previous flagship earphones.
  • Additional features including "Signature Sound" and "Voice Control" will debut at Anker Day in New York on May 21. The company confirmed THUS-bearing headphones will be revealed at this event, though specific details remain undisclosed.
  • Fabricated in Germany, THUS serves as a multi-year platform for Anker's roadmap, expanding beyond audio to include mobile accessories and IoT devices. This strategy positions the company to implement larger AI models on low-powered hardware previously reliant on cloud processing.
