Given there is a new standard in measuring NPU performance capabilities, it is critical we have a better understanding of the relationship between NPU TOPS and the relationship of TOPS as a metric and AI performance. While we completely agree, TOPS is a difficult metric to measure real-world AI performance, we think of it in…

While all compute cores are capable of handling AI workloads, the NPU stands out the most here as its architecture allows it to run these AI workloads at significantly lower wattage than CPU and GPU cores. NPUs have power management technique advantages over the CPU and GPU, specifically on AI workloads. NPUs often include advanced…
