Soooo, do we have a single application which benefits from underpowered integrated NPUs yet? One that people actually use.
The only thing I can think of is to self host your own video surveillance and use it to identify what passes in front of the cameras. For a processor of that caliber though it seems overpowered. iGPUs are a way better use of the silicon IMO.
Probably dodgy STT and adequete TTS as well. If you pipe RAM into it and have (lots of) patience, it could do more advanced work. iGPU still better though.
Lemonade is a decent LLM interface. I’ve poked around with the AMD NPU models and they do the trick.
A developer here - I for one am running 3 4K monitors with 9900X iGPU. No need for a discrete one and it would only increase power demand and energy consumption for no gains.
They don’t expect any of us will be buying desktop PCs anymore?
I think this is for people that intend on building a computer and then having an external GPU.
