Modern notebooks with NPUs not only benefit from the ability to run AI solutions locally but can also deliver much longer runtimes.Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors in modern laptops rely on a hybrid chip design that is specifically geared towards energy efficiency. The Neural Processing Unit (NPU) plays a central role here, relieving the CPU and GPU of inference-based processes such as image recognition, language processing, or modeling.The NPU delivers up to 48 TOPS of computing power with minimal power consumption. This benefits AI applications and functions, minimizing the energy requirements of notebooks. Microsoft’s Windows 11 implements new energy-saving strategies that ensure AI-supported functions remain active without negatively impacting the energy balance.The integration of NPUs into current notebook platforms not only marks a technological advance in terms of AI performance but also enables a sustainable reduction in energy consumption through intelligent task sharing for the first time. In combination with the new energy-saving functions of Windows 11, the result is a platform that works faster and more efficiently.
