In my time reviewing laptops and gaming laptops, I've been used to describing performance in relation to two key areas the CPU and GPU. Intel is determined to up my word count because with its 2024 lineup, of Intel Core Ultra processors it has added a third component, the Neural Processing Unit or NPU.
This dedicated low-power AI engine is designed for sustained AI tasks and has been integrated into HP's 2024 laptops, including the new Spectre x360 14-inch and 16-inch models. HP bills the new Spectre x360 range as "The world's most adaptive laptop with built-in AI technology" and it's easy to see why with AI tricks all over the place aided by up to an Intel Core Ultra i9 processor.
