As an Intel Innovator, I received the AI ​​PC DevKit. This machine is a fully upgraded modular mini PC that combines premium design with powerful performance, targeting users needing high-load computing and localized AI processing. It features the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor with a 16-core (6P+8E+2LP) configuration, integrated Intel® Arc™ 140T GPU, and a built-in NPU, offering up to 96 TOPS of AI computing power. With LPDDR5X 8400MHz memory and advanced architecture, it supports demanding tasks like 8K video editing, 3D rendering, and AI model training.

Intel AI PCs: Powering the Future of Local AI

Intel AI PCs lead the way in AI-driven innovation, seamlessly integrating advanced hardware and software to provide exceptional performance tailored for enterprise and developer needs.

Now with this equipment, I will provide NPU support for the openSUSE Linux distribution natively. With this, NPU support will be used natively in this distribution without the need for any additional installation. The results are encouraging using openVINO technology with NPU, the final result of the work will take a while but news will be coming soon.

To get everyone excited, we will have AI assistants in the VIM/VI editor and also in Linux Shell commands with OpenVINO and Intel’s NPU.

I will be able to provide more efficient support, as I will be able to test technical calls like the example below.
