> the same AIE-ML coprocessors

they're not the same - versal acaps (whatever you want to call them) have AIE1 arch while phoenix has AIE2 arch. there are significant differences between the two arches (local memory, bfloat16, etc.)

Phoenix has AIE-ML (what you call AIE2), Versal has choice of AIE (AIE1) and AIE-ML (AIE2) depending on chip you buy.

Essentially, AMD is making two tile designs optimized for slightly different computations and claims that they are going to offer both in Versal, but NPUs use exclusively the ML-optimized ones.
