A developer here - I for one am running 3 4K monitors with 9900X iGPU. No need for a discrete one and it would only increase power demand and energy consumption for no gains.

I think this is for people that intend on building a computer and then having an external GPU.

Soooo, do we have a single application which benefits from underpowered integrated NPUs yet? One that people actually use.

Probably dodgy STT and adequete TTS as well. If you pipe RAM into it and have (lots of) patience, it could do more advanced work.
