'We cut total productivity by dedicating some cores to AI BS and would make you pay for them'.

- AMD, probably

The whole NPU thing reeks of stagnation.

AMD uses chiplets in their CPUs, you can see it in the picture - they have a CPU bit, a GPU bit and an AI bit.

Much like you can buy SKUs with or without graphics you will be able to buy models with or without AI.

Strix Point is a monolithic die APU, though to your point, it's comprised of a variety of IP (CPU, GPU, NPU, IO / SoC functionality) from across the business.

Strix Halo is rumoured to be a multi-chip product.
