Current laptops with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors rely on a hybrid chip design that is specifically geared towards energy efficiency. The Neural Processing Unit NPU, used for the first time in consumer systems, plays a central role here. This dedicated computing unit for AI tasks relieves the CPU and GPU of inference based processes such as image recognition, language processing, or modelling. While the CPU had to take on many of these tasks in conventional systems, the NPU enables a
