    So, I might build a new machine next year. Does that mean motherboards will have an extra NPU chip on them? Or are new CPUs supposed to come out with the extra functionality?

    I won’t be using it in any case, as 1. I’m not running Windows, and 2. there most likely wouldn’t be any purpose to it even if I was, but this will probably contribute to making hardware more expensive for no gain (yay).

      The newer mobile chips have some sort of npu type silicon included. I don’t think it’s very widespread on desktop yet.
