More like a CUDAish backend for a specific application. And for Hexagon rather than ARM, Hexagon and ARM are both architectures. ARM is a RISC for application processing and Hexagon is a VLIW for digital signal processing.

This is for executing existing models rather than training them. EG, they train a speech recognition net in the cloud or wherever then run the model on your phone directly for performance/network reasons.
