CES 24 > NQ8 AI Gen3 processor with 512 Deep Learning modules for Samsung 8K Neo QLED TVs

For its Neo QLED Ultra HD 8K 2024 TV range, Samsung is announcing the NQ8 AI Gen3 chip with increased capabilities. Spotlight on its main characteristics intended to magnify the rendering of images.

On the program for the new Samsung Ultra HD 8K Neo QLED TVs, the new NQ8 AI Gen3 chip which displays significantly higher performance than the 2023 model Neural Quantum Processor, for example an 8x faster execution speed. Without forgetting artificial intelligence capabilities that are much more developed than in previous years.

The main evolution concerns the Upscaling algorithm: while in 2021, the processor included 16 Deep Learning modules (see screenshot below) to analyze the incoming signal, 20 modules in 2022 and 64 modules in 2023, the specimen embedded in the Samsung 8K 2024 TVs has no less than 512 modules, each specialized in a particular task. Thus, the television applies the best scaling process depending on the nature of the signal, 720p, 1080p or 2160p, compressed signal coming from the Internet, a streaming platform or even a noisy image...

Namely, the Samsung QN900 TV series benefits from 8K AI Upscaling Pro processing for unprecedented on-screen sharpness. The other UHD 8K 2024 references integrate the 8K AI Upscaling process.

AI Motion Enhancer Pro compensation is included for automatic variable image interpolation depending, for example, on the nature of the sport broadcast: motion compensation will not be the same in the presence of a tennis match or a football match.

The AI Real Depth Enhancer Pro algorithm also benefits from significant improvements. The latter aims to improve the relief of the image by optimizing the contrast between the foreground of the image which concentrates the moving objects or the action, and the background. Likewise, the image processing manages with particular care what is around the focal point (the place where the viewer's eyes rest, identified by the on-board artificial intelligence) to improve its display compared to the rest , which further accentuates the 3D effect.

Finally, if the Infinity design of the Samsung 8K Neo QLED TVs is still required, the Samsung QN900 screens feature the Infinity Air design for exceptional thinness, 12.9 mm, in addition to a stand with a mirror finish giving the impression that the screen is floating in the air.
