Neural Processing Unit (NPU)

A neural processing unit is a processor built into devices such as phones, laptops and cameras to run AI models locally and efficiently.

What is Neural Processing Unit (NPU)?

NPUs allow features like on-device speech recognition and image enhancement without sending data to the cloud, improving privacy and latency.

How it works

NPUs execute low-precision neural network operations with very low power consumption.
