I’ve been playing with a new Lunar Lake laptop and they’ve complicated things even further with the Neural Processing Unit (NPU)

Now if your vectors are INT8/FP8 you’re supposed to shovel them into this accelerator via PCIe, rather than packing into registers for AVX512.

I wish they’d just pick an interface for vector ops and stick with it.
