Best use cases for an NPU in your Windows 11 laptop

In 2024, many Windows laptops are equipped with dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) to enhance computing capabilities by efficiently handling AI workloads. Laptops featuring Intel Core Ultra processors, Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, or AMD 7040 series or later utilize NPUs. Windows Studio Effects allows users to enable features like background blur and eye contact during video calls, utilizing the NPU for energy-efficient processing. Amuse 2.1 is a generative AI application that performs text-to-image generation on-device using an NPU, although it currently lacks support for Intel's NPUs. Adobe Premiere Pro incorporates AI-driven features leveraging Ryzen AI hardware, and GIMP offers text-to-image generation through the OpenVINO plugin for Intel Core Ultra CPUs. Users with Snapdragon-powered laptops have access to features like live captions and image enhancements, with more AI capabilities expected in Windows 11 by 2025.
