    But even if i wanted AI. Those 50TOPS arent useful for anything i believe?

    That’s the question I’ve been asking myself. Reviews and marketing copytext constantly talk about the NPU and TOPS, but what applications is this relevant for?

    Does this help with ML video upscaling solutions like Topaz Video AI? Does this help with running local LLMs (I didn’t have very good results on my 10 GB VRAM 3080)?

    I have yet to hear from anyone what the NPUs are used for.
