Figure A. Outside of the features Private Compute Core will bring to your device, one of the more important things it does is store data separate from all apps and services, while making that data available to the operating system when required.
With Private Compute Core at work, that data is processed within its own sandbox, away from everything else, and then the captions are presented for your viewing.
Private Compute core will make it possible for Google to develop and release new features while keeping data safe, private and local.
The idea behind Private Compute Core is simple: Everything will happen within a privileged space, similar to how separate partitions are used for passwords and biometric data.
Instead of housing credentials, the Private Compute Core partition will hold data used for ML. SEE: How to enable themed icons in Android 12.
The reason for this design is so that Private Compute Core can be deployed across a wide range of Android hardware.
