The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

And now with AI...

The Neuron: AI Explained

or data science, you're also using a GPU.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

So it is kind of the base layer that allows, you know, parallel compute, leveraging CUDA, et cetera, to go out and do these, as I go, do-do-do-do, the combinations, permutations, all the data to make it work.

And NPU is very similar.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

And those are made, for example, you know, there's Intel, there's Qualcomm.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Most of those are, there's not a, it's not a dedicated,

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Okay, a GPU is dedicated VRAM that is separate from your system memory.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Yes.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

An NPU generally, and I'm giving kind of broad because it kind of depends on the vendor, but an NPU is a separate device that kind of sets within the CPU architecture that will leverage your VRAM

The Neuron: AI Explained

to a certain extent to go do that AI processing.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

So the real big difference between an NPU is think GPU is really for the massive compute and like the making of AI or an NPU is like, Hey, I have co-pilot and I don't want it to run slow.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

I want an NPU or, Hey, I do small little things.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Hey, NPU.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

So NPU GPU, most computers now on the market will come with an NPU.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

It's almost like industry standard now, at least I think.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

I mean, all of our new, you know, Dell Pro, all of them come with an MPU almost.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

But not every computer comes with a GPU.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Yeah, absolutely.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

I mean, it comes both fixed and mobile from the entry-level 500 series all the way up to the big daddy, the 6,000 Blackwell 96 gigs of RAM that will, like, literally shoot a rocket into space.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI PC Buyer’s Guide: Specs That Actually Matter (ft. Dell’s Logan Lawler)

Okay, so let's talk about a tool that's completely transformed how I personally work.
