The technicality they're operating on is that the "AI PC" doesn't have a "neural processing unit."

> faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC today.

Ah. I guess you could argue that that's technically not directly false. That's an impressive level of being dishonest without being technically incorrect.

By comparing the non-existent neural engine in your typical AI PC, you could claim that the very first SoC with an "NPU" is infinitely faster than the typical AI PC

The phrase AI PC used by Intel and AMD is about having an NPU like in the Intel Ultra chips. These are ML only things, and can run without activating the GPU.
