What seems to be delivered by NPUs at this point: filtering background noise from our microphone and blurring our camera using a watt or two less than before.
Regardless if it does zilch or some minor good for you in the battery respect, the point was more NPUs don't deliver on the above reasons everyone was supposed to want AI for. Most likely, IMO, because they are far too weak to do so and making them powerful takes too much power+cost.
