Anker SoundCore Liberty 5 Pro's technological breakthrough: When the THUS AI chip changes the audio game.
Anker has launched the Liberty 5 Pro, featuring an integrated THUS AI chip with advanced Compute-in-memory architecture. The product boasts 10 sensors and AI meeting note-taking capabilities, setting a new standard for true wireless earbuds.
Anker has officially introduced the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max headphones, marking a significant step forward in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to personal audio devices. The biggest highlight of this product line is the inclusion of the proprietary THUS AI chip, which utilizes a new computing architecture to optimize performance and save energy.
Compute-in-memory (CIM) architecture: The solution to the AI performance challenge.
For decades, traditional Von Neumann architectures with separate memory and processor have shown limitations when handling complex AI tasks. The constant movement of data between these two components creates a "bottleneck" and consumes a lot of power. Anker's THUS chip has solved this problem with its Compute-in-memory (CIM) architecture.
Instead of transmitting data back and forth, the THUS chip performs AI inference calculations directly in NOR Flash memory. This method not only significantly reduces power consumption but also optimizes hardware space, allowing for the integration of significant processing power into the compact size of a true wireless earbud.
A system of 10 sensors and a Guinness World Record for call quality.
Anker positions the Liberty 5 Pro as an audio device capable of understanding and adapting. To achieve this, each earbud is equipped with up to 10 sensors, including 8 MEMS microphones and 2 bone conduction sensors. This system allows the device to simultaneously capture ambient sound and vibrations from the user's voice.
Data from 10 sensors is analyzed in real time by the THUS chip to separate speech from background noise. Thanks to this technology, Liberty 5 Pro has achieved Guinness World Records certification for call quality, allowing for clear conversations even in environments with noise levels above 100 dB.
Liberty 5 Pro Max: When the charging case becomes your work assistant.
The Liberty 5 Pro Max version takes the user experience to a new level with its AI Note-Taker feature. The charging case of this version integrates a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen, which can be used not only for control but also for independent meeting recording.
With 512MB of internal memory, the device can store up to 12 hours of audio recordings. The Soundcore app then uses AI to convert the content into text, identify the speaker, and automatically summarize the main points. To ensure data security, the data is protected by AES-256 encryption and transmitted via TLS 1.3 protocol.
Adaptive ANC 4.0 noise cancellation and personalized sound.
Both versions feature Adaptive ANC 4.0 technology with a sampling rate of up to 384,000 samples per second. The algorithm continuously monitors noise levels to adjust the noise cancellation level to suit the actual environment, reducing strain on the ears during prolonged use.
In terms of sound quality, Anker uses a 9.2mm driver with a wool-paper diaphragm, combined with HearID 5.0 technology to build a personalized hearing profile for each individual. Additionally, the AI Sound Enhancement feature helps to reproduce frequency ranges lost during wireless transmission, ensuring Hi-Fi sound quality.
