yep. they have a neural engine that is separate from the CPU and GPU that does really fast matmuls https://github.com/hollance/neural-engine. it's basically completely undocumented and for programs like blas it has more horsepower than all the cores combined.

meteorlake and zen4 (8000) also both have npus which are similar. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-meteor-lake-npu-meet-intels-d...




What I had in mind is not the neutral engine but the AMX (Apple's matrix/long vector coprocessor).
