Amazon's Echo devices run on Amazon's AZ3 and AZ3 Pro chips. The Echo Dot Max uses AZ3, which improves wake-word detection by 50 percent, filters out background noise, and powers the microphone array. The Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11 use AZ3 Pro, which is smarter and supports advanced language models and Vision Transformers for faster response. All devices feature the Omnisense sensor system, which uses a 13-megapixel camera, audio, radar, accelerometers, and Wi-Fi signals to detect activity in the home. Alexa can then take proactive actions, such as reminding her when a different person enters a room or notifying her if the garage door is left open after 10 p.m.
