New Intel Arrow Lake CPU leak suggests its NPU could be disappointingly weak

Intel Arrow Lake architecture.

A new Intel Arrow Lake leak suggests that the upcoming desktop processors will only feature a low-powered NPU, one that won't past muster in terms of Microsoft's Copilot+ PC hardware requirements. 

As spotted by Videocardz, hardware leaker Jaykihn on X has posted what's claimed to be a spec list for Intel Arrow Lake-S (desktop) which states that the NPU will only deliver 13 TOPS (trillion operations per second). For context, the current crop of recently released Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered 'AI PCs' ship with a 45 TOPS NPU.
