What is an NPU?
NPUs are integrated circuits but they differ from single-function ASICs (app-Specific Integrated Circuits).
This specialization ensures that no single processor gets overwhelmed, maintaining smooth operation across the system.
NPUs in PCs
NPUs are becoming increasingly common in the PC and laptop domain.
NPUs in mobile devices
In smartphones, NPUs play a crucial role in AI computing and applications.
Apple’s Bionic mobile chips have leveraged NPUs for tasks like video stabilization, photo correction, and more.
In TVs, for example, NPUs are used to upscale the resolution of older content to more modern4Kresolution.
