Several SoCs/APUs released recently come with an integrated AI engine.

Ryzen 7040 -> 10 TOPS XDNA AI Engine.

Snapdragon X Elite -> 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU

Apple M3 -> 18 TOPS Neural Engine

The soon to be released Intel Meteor Lake will also have an NPU.

How do these TOPS figures compare to GPUs such as the RTX 40 series models? They are notoriously being used for AI computation. But I haven't been able to find any TOPS figures for those dGPUs.

I want to know how these integrated NPUs stand against dGPUs in AI computation power.

Completely pointless to compare IMHO. A bit like comparing "core counts".
