Heterogeneous computing is quietly redefining how AI appears in everyday devices, bringing intelligence closer to where people actually use it rather than keeping it locked in remote cloud systems. As AI expands into physical products, success depends less on raw performance and more on how efficiently CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs work together. Heterogeneous computing manifests…
