Ryzen vs. Meteor Lake: AMD's AI Often Wins, Even On Intel's Hand-Picked Tests (tomshardware.com) 6
Velcroman1 writes: Intel's new generation of "Meteor Lake" mobile CPUs herald a new age of "AI PCs," computers that can handle inference workloads such as generating images or transcribing audio without an Internet connection. Officially named "Intel Core Ultra" processors, the chips are the first to feature an NPU (neural processing unit) that's purpose-built to handle AI tasks. But there are few ways to actually test this feature at present: software will need to be rewritten to specifically direct operations at the NPU.
Intel has steered testers toward its Open Visual Inference and Neural Network Optimization (OpenVINO) AI toolkit. With those benchmarks, Tom's Hardware tested the new Intel chips against AMD -- and surprisingly, AMD chips often came out on top, even on these hand-selected benchmarks. Clearly, optimization will take some time!

Pat Gelsinger, I had expected better of you.

They've had failures, like everything. I buy AMD now as they're more prominent with sanctions, not that it makes much difference.
I do like their lower TDP.

The phoronix tests of the new Intel chips with stuff specifically for NN inference showed that's the one case where they do beat AMD chips by a bit, though that may have been the AMX instructions, not the NPU if that's any different.
Kind of wonder how the NPU compares to computer shaders on the iGPU
