A few years ago in the IT sector it was all about the ‘Cloud’.

Now ASUS are pushing AI, along with the likes of Google, Bing etc.

Not a fair comparison, but you know what I mean.

 

ASUS Ai Router consists of the main following components, as far as I can tell.

•  Tri-core processing architecture consisting of a CPU, NPU, and MCU
  • CPU – A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer/device.
  • NPU – An ASUS Neural Processing Unit (NPU) is an AI-focused chip that’s designed to handle AI tasks
    . It’s built with layers of interconnected artificial nerve cells that mimic the human brain to process and transmit information
  • MCU – The Microcontroller Unit (MCU) is a separate chip from the BIOS, that governs the native game controller, Aura RGB, and other hardware-level features.

Looks like the NPU is the new and interesting option which works alongside the CPU,  I will drop ASUS a message and see what I can extract from their technical dept..
