"It's 2018 so "AI" couldn't miss from a press release about an SoC, of course. The P22 "offers the benefits of AI-accelerated experiences", MediaTek says. That's achieved through support for common AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, TF Lite, Caffe and Caffe2, as well as "an auto-select function for the best available AI resource for developer efficiency", whatever that means.
