| 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Intel – Introduction of the Intel AI PC for Research
The Intel AI PC has a CPU, a GPU, and an NPU, each with specific AI acceleration capabilities. An NPU, or neural processing unit, is a specialized accelerator that handles artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tasks right on your PC instead of sending data to be processed in the cloud.
