It’s the kind of thing that in a few years you’ll be glad to have because some tasks will be offloaded from the GPU to the NPU, one I can think of is the background blur in video conferencing software or microphone noise suppression
That’s still something that works more than good enough without the use of an NPU. We’ll see if better use cases come out in future but I’d still prefer that power and die area go to raw CPU processing power.
