That was my question... How much on-chip memory do they have? And what are applications for that amount of memory? I think an image generator needs like 4-5GB and a LLM that's smart enough as a general porpose chatbot needs like 8-10GB. More will be better. And at that point you'd better make it unified memory like with the M-series Macs or other APUs? Or this isn't targeted at generative AI but some other applications. Hence my question.

Last I heard this is for onboard speech recognition and basic image recognition/OCR so these things can more intelligently listen, see and store what you're doing without sending it to a server. Not creepy at all.
