What are NPUs? The Brains Behind Next-Gen AI

Neural Processing Units (NPUs) represent a paradigm shift in computing hardware, specifically engineered to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads. Unlike general-purpose Central Processing Units (CPUs) or even Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), NPUs are purpose-built silicon designed with architectures optimized for the unique demands of neural networks. Their fundamental role is to efficiently execute the complex mathematical operations that
