After testing them myself, I’m genuinely convinced that there’s not a compelling use for NPUs right now. When you go to buy your next laptop, there’s a good chance it will have a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside of it, and AMD and Intel have been making a big fuss about how these NPUs will drive the future of the AI PC.
