NPUs are specialized processors designed to handle AI-specific tasks. Companies like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm claim they will revolutionize computing by making devices smarter and more efficient.
While NPUs provide some efficiency gains, particularly in mobile devices, their impact in laptops is less clear, as battery life improvements become harder to justify for average users.
For most users, NPUs may represent a nice-to-have feature rather than an essential upgrade, as CPUs and GPUs have historically managed AI tasks effectively.
The innovation offered by NPUs appears more about incremental efficiency gains rather than providing truly groundbreaking capabilities for the average consumer.
