Title: New expansion board for Raspberry Pi 5 offers NPU performance on par with Intel and AMD APUs

Misleading. XDNA2 is 50TOPs BF16, plus much better bandwidth.

AMD XDNA2 has 50 TOPS, therefore this news doesn't give the real figures.
Now, AMD laptop users eagerly await the new generation AMD Zen 6, which is expected to have almost 100 TOPS in a laptop, something essential for running AI without needing to connect to the internet and for everything to be done privately on the laptop itself.
