Intel® Movidius™ Vision Processing Units (VPUs)
Intel® Movidius™ VPUs enable demanding computer vision and AI workloads with efficiency. By coupling highly parallel programmable compute with workload-specific AI hardware acceleration in a unique architecture that minimizes data movement, Movidius VPUs achieve a balance of power efficiency, and compute performance.
Intel® Movidius™ Vision Processing Units (VPUs)
Features and Benefits of PCs with Intel® Movidius™ VPU
Designed to accelerate Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads on your PC, improving system responsiveness, efficiency and AI compute performance. Available on select 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor powered devices, the VPU will enable new Windows Studio effects that provide high quality background blur, eye contact, and automatic framing for collaboration and streaming applications. These effects can easily be applied system-wide through Windows Settings to provide consistent video effects for all apps that use the integrated camera.
Features and Benefits of PCs With VPUs
Show Up, Stand Out
Professional video and streaming quality, without the production crew – available in just a few clicks
Privacy Where it Matters
Whether working from home or from the hotel room, your colleagues don’t need to see your wandering roommate or messy bed. AI powered background blur helps protects your privacy.
Natural Connections
With colleagues and friends spread across the globe, technology should help people connect, not distract.
Seamless Multitasking
By offloading the AI compute to the VPU, your CPU and GPU are available for other tasks while you collaborate or stream.
