In recent times, artificial intelligence (AI) has taken a front role in the manufacture of semiconductors for smartphones and other gadgets. AnTuTu has released the top 10 AI processor ranking for the month of April 2020. 
The ranking is based on data collected on its database when a smartphone is benchmarked. Thus, the performance ranking for April encompasses data collected between April 1 and April 30. The data is based on the average score of the models and not necessarily the highest score obtained. The outfit did not release the name of the specific model that made the ranking but just the processors. Where there are multiple models running the same processor, data from the best performing model is what is recorded.
The listed is dominated by Qualcomm chipsets as five different processors from the US manufactured are on the top 10 list. The Snapdragon 865 is ranked as the best AI chipset around followed by Samsung Exynos 990. Qualcomm Snapdragon 765/765G, Snapdragon 855+ and Snapdragon 855 occupy the third to fifth spots.
MediaTek Helio G90 comes in at the sixth spot while the Snapdragon 730/730G is at number 7. Samsung Exynos 9825 SoC is ranked at umber 8 while the premium MediaTek Dimensity 1000L mid-range SoC is at number 9.
The tenth spot is sort of a surprise as the Hisilicon Kirin 990 is ranked at number 10. We can’t say why the Kirin 990 performed so badly considering that Huawei flaunts its Kirin chipsets for their AI prowess piloted by the Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
