You dont seriously think MSFT expects this shit to benefit consumers do you? Their datacenters are overheating and the billing meter is still ticking while they burn, they need to figure out how to get consumers to start paying for this shit before they go broke and wall st sells them off for parts..

Either way, these are some of the first personal computers to have NPUs. They will improve. CPUs are 20 years optimized, this is literally the first try for some of these companies

if anything this is a very promising benchmark for the new tech,. we're getting close.

so what this means if NPUs are anywhere close to CPUs in the benchmarks is that NPUs are going to blow past CPUs very soon, because CPUs dont have much more weight to shed whereas NPUs are just getting started.
