Intel recently showcased how running generative AI programs on its new NPUs might benefit gamers. Although several companies have promoted the gaming-related potential of NPUs, these benefits.
Something to look forward to: Microsoft, Nvidia, and now Intel are working to turn gaming assistants into a new selling point for generative AI. While Nvidia argues that its GPUs are the best tools for local AI workloads, Windows and Intel have tried to demonstrate the benefits of using NPUs to offload tasks from graphics chips during gameplay. However, none of the proposed assistants has undergone extensive real-world testing.
Intel recently showcased how running generative AI programs on its new NPUs might benefit gamers. Although several companies have promoted the gaming-related potential of NPUs, these benefits remain largely unproven.
In Intel’s demonstration, a generative AI model – likely a generic third-party assistant – provided gameplay advice during a session of Black Myth: Wukong, running on an unspecified Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200HX processor, presumably in a gaming laptop.
