Matt Wolfe (YouTube video) explains Microsoft's announcement that it is developing "AI-first" computers which add a dedicated neural processing unit (called an MPU) alongside the CPU and GPU. He describes the MPU as a separate card to process AI so tasks like recording activity and helping find files happen locally on the device.
Well, the cool thing about the Microsoft event and one of the other announcements that they made was that they're actually developing new computers to be AI first. So a computer typically has a CPU and a GPU in it. These new Microsoft computers have a cpu, a gpu, and now what they call an mpu, a neural processing unit. So it's like a separate card just to process the AI. So all of the AI that it's using to, like, record your computer and help you find what you did throughout the day, that is all happening locally on your computer.
