    an added NPU

    cmiiw but I don’t think NPUs are meant to be used on general-purpose personal computers. A GPU makes more sense.

    NPUs are meant for specialised equipment e.g. object detection in a camera (not the personal-use kind)

      They are in general purpose PCs though. Intel has them taking up die space in a bunch of their recent core ultra processors.

      Probably not even general purpose GPUs, although we sucked it up when RT and Tensor cores were put on a plate whenever we like it or not. These though at least provided something to the consumer unlike NPUs.
