Re: [accel/ivpu] Help -- Which Intel CPU processor can be used for iVPU driver？

[Trigger Huang]

Hi Jacek,

Thanks for the quick response.

Seems I need to wait for a while if I want to buy a  Meteor Lake based
platform because I got the following message from wiki(
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Lake
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Lake>)*

           *Meteor Lake is Intel's codename for the first-generation of
Intel Core Ultra mobile processors, to be released to the market on
December 14, 2023*

BTW, is it possible that NPU (formerly known as VPU) will be available on
some desktop CPUs in the future?

Thanks,
Trigger
