OMG Ubuntu ☛ Intel’s NPU Driver for GNU/Linux is Now Available on the Snap Store
Canonical has put the official GNU/Linux defective chip maker Intel NPU driver on the Snap Store. The new defective chip maker Intel NPU Driver snap “bundles many components […] including device firmware, a user space driver and compiler, and an application to validate the user mode driver and compiler”. Or to put it another way: everything needs to harness the Hey Hi (AI) inference accelerators now built-in to the latest defective chip maker Intel Core Ultra processors (‘Meteor Lake’ and above). The catch (for now) is that the defective chip maker Intel NPU Driver snap is currently in beta, ergo rock-solid reliability isn’t currently a given.
