Somebody please explain me in very simple words why do I need an AI capable chip in my personal computer. And under Linux, for the most.
Offline translation is pretty great. Some image editing tools are pretty great. Games may utilise them in the future. Offline image recognition for searching for images (e.g. “show me pics of grandma”), etc.
It’s not particularly widely used now, but the same was true for hardware video encode/decode, hardware accelerated encryption/decryption, etc.
Quick local translate, image upscale, ai fill tool. Just throwing ideas out.
image processing is pretty intense and would likely be handled by the GPU. Efficient embedded NN accelerators like this are meant to be used for more passive things, like noise cancelation or like you mentioned, translation.
This isnt for you, nor for me. I don’t need an AI-capable chip, I could just use my GPU if for some reason I wanted to run a local transformer model.
Do any desktop models have this hardware?
