What is an NPU and why does the BenQ Board Pro RP05 need one?

Most AI features rely on remote servers to process data. This setup works well for complex tasks that don’t require instant responses. However, for AI tasks that demand real-time performance, a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) enables these operations to run directly on the board. By processing AI tasks locally, the NPU not only delivers faster, more responsive performance but also enhances data privacy, since sensitive information doesn’t need to be transmitted to external servers.
