Yeah, that's because the original npus were a rush job, the amd AI Max is the only one that's worth anything in my opinion.

I have a Strix Halo 395 128GB laptop running Ubuntu from HP. I have not been able to do anything with the NPU. I was hoping it could be used for OpenCL, but does not seem so.

What examples do you have of making the NPU in this processor useful please?

Is that because of the actual processing unit or because they doubled the width of the memory bus?
