Platform delivers up to 99 TOPS to power on-device AI inference
The ARH171/ARH173 supports 16 Intel Core Ultra processor options spanning Meteor Lake-U/H and Arrow Lake-U/H, with power ranges of 15-28W and Intel vPro available on select SKUs. Arrow Lake-H configurations reach up to 99 total platform TOPS, with the integrated Intel Arc GPU and dedicated NPU accelerating inference through OpenVINO, DirectML, and ONNX RT, reducing dependence on discrete graphics cards.
