However, running object detection purely on an Intel CPU quickly leads to bottlenecks—inference speeds hover between <strong>80ms to 140ms per frame</strong>, and CPU utilization can easily pin at 80%–100%.</p> <p>The <strong>Google Coral USB Accelerator</strong> (featuring the Edge TPU coprocessor) completely transforms performance. It offloads real-time machine learning inference, dropping inference latencies down to <strong>8ms–12ms</strong> while reducing CPU usage to a fraction of its former load.</p>
