AI NPU FeaturesLinux has already received early support for neural processing units
Linux has already achieved compatibility with the next generation of neural processing unit (NPU) from Intel, and Team Blue is taking efforts toward the implementation of artificial intelligence in the not-too-distant future
As was said earlier, there are a great deal of similarities to be discovered between the NPUs that are included in the Meteor Lake lineup and those that are included in the Arrow Lake lineup
These similarities may be found in a number of different ways The fact that both of these NPUs utilize the same driver code path makes it a lot simpler to provide support for Linux
To provide a brief overview of everything, the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) or Vision Processing Unit (VPU) that was developed by Intel is the company’s response to the increasing number of breakthroughs
we have already had a glimpse of it with AMD’s efforts toward a comparable dedicated AI platform that has been referred to as “AMD XDNA” under the Ryzen AI line of products
When the Intel Arrow Lake central processing units become commercially accessible in the latter half of the year 2024
