Computing has come a long way with the introduction of NPUs, GPUs, and CPUs. Let's break it down in simple terms: 🧠 CPUs: They handle general instructions and system management. Think of them as the brain of your computer, evolving with more cores and speed. 🎮 GPUs: These are like supercharged CPUs that excel at parallel processing tasks, like matrix operations and vector calculations. They are ideal for graphics and AI because they have thousands of cores. 🤖 NPUs: NPUs are specifically designed for AI tasks, such as matrix multiplication and low latency. Google calls them TPUs, while Apple refers to them as Neural Engines. So, why are NPUs important? They are crucial for edge computing, which allows local AI processing. This reduces costs, enhances privacy, and increases efficiency. NPUs can handle many tasks locally and offload complex ones to the cloud, making AI more energy-efficient and capable. In a nutshell, CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs each have their unique roles, with NPUs be
