We are talking about NPU hardware units
Artificial intelligence is actively capturing new markets. According to recent forecasts, in the coming years, most PCs will have AI support.
IDC analysts predict that by 2027, 60% of all PCs shipped will support AI in hardware. This means that the processor or SoC will have a dedicated unit for working with AI.
Now such a unit is available in Ryzen 7040/8040 and the latest Intel Meteor Lake processors. It is likely that most new CPUs that will be introduced in 2024 will also have a corresponding module. Also due to hit the market this year is the Snapdragon X Elite SoC for Windows PCs, and the platform also has an AI engine.
