How we choose chips, run AI on the device and build displays that look after themselves — written by the people who design the boards and the firmware.
An NPU runs AI models on the device instead of the cloud. Here is how inference works on a Rockchip board, and what 1 TOPS and 6 TOPS chips can realistically run.
