I think this is a poor choice by Intel.

AI is being integrated more and more into Windows 11 and is surely going to be heavily baked into Windows 12.

Not including even a lower powered AI (NPU) processor is going to leave computers with these processors offering a far poorer user experience in a very short period of time.

I suspect AI in everyday computing use will rise in popularity staggeringly quickly, leaving these processors offering a massively sub-par performance.

And look at the competition. ARM processors (from the various manufacturers) are likely to all have NPU cores built in at every price point, just look at Apple's lead in this area already.
