AMD Artificial Intelligence.
Any comments on AMDs Laptop CPU with Artificial Intelligence on it? I might buy a mini that has that. I would not be buying it for that but if it comes with it great.

Re: AMD Artificial Intelligence.
I am guessing that they have TPUs (tensor processing units) built in. Like GPUs, they can do large amounts of arithmetic in parallel, but the precision of the arithmetic will be much lower, making it better suited to NN work than to drawing images.

Re: AMD Artificial Intelligence.
Useless marketing gimmick, and even AMD themselves don't believe in it. Their laptop market share is around 20%, and with that weak position, they still don't throw that AI stuff in all their laptop CPUs, reducing the market share for that one to the point that no software vendor will bother. Its only purpose is showing off to their shareholders that AMD does have that tech. Even if these NPUs should become relevant - by the time they might, the current gen NPUs will be so outdated that you won't get anything useful out of them anyway.
