The new premium models G4 range will come with Alpha 11 Processor that has four times the AI deep learning of their Alpha 9, processor according to LG management.
The big difference with the Alpha 11 processor is that converts 2-channel to 11.1.2 channel and has two more channels to handle ambient sound than the old Alpha 9 processor.
