What exactly does Windows do with a NPU? I don't own an 'AI PC' but it seems like the NPUs are slow and can't run much.

I know Apple's Neural Engine is used to power Face ID and the facial recognition stuff in Photos, among other things.

AI PC is just a marketing term, doesn't have any real substance

Yea, we know that. I believe that’s why the person you’re replying too was asking for examples of real usage.
