All about neural processing units (NPUs)
The neural processing unit (NPU) of a device has architecture that simulates a human brain’s neural network. Learn how it pairs with AI and provides you with powerful advantages in this new era.
-
It processes large amounts of data in parallel, performing trillions of operations per second.
-
It uses less power and is far more efficient at AI tasks than a CPU or GPU.
-
It excels at AI tasks and frees your CPU and GPU up for other tasks. Combining an NPU with machine learning gives you a powerful combo.
-
It provides lightning-fast, high-bandwidth AI in real time—a great advantage for using voice commands, creating images quickly, and more.
-
It helps you work fast and be more creative.
