Next-Gen Intel Core Ultra’s New NPU Explained

Today on Talking Tech we’re joined by Darren Crews, Sr. Principal Engineer of NPU Architecture, who walks us through a brief history of Intel NPUs up to the fourth and most capable iteration in Lunar Lake. Learn how evolving trends in prominent client AI workloads drive our microarchitectural design and implementation. Discover why we place more emphasis on vector compute this generation, and how we’ve optimized for efficiency by minimizing the NPU’s reliance on system memory.
