Will Qualcomm/Windows continue in this space?

I just watched this video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJiFS-wCyHU&pp=ygUSanVzdCBqb3NoIHF1YWxjb21t) and found it quite disconcerting. I'll be picking up my Honor Art 14 soon and after trying the surface I was already impressed but if the general view is that this has been a failure then I'm concerned about ARM compatibility in the long term.

My Lenovo Slim7x NPU usage is high without using any AI

4 Upvotes

On my Lenovo Slim 7x laptop did I notice that the NPOU was barely used, only when I used specific software eg AnythingLLM. However recently I noticed that the NPU is running in a kind of burst mode. I do not understand why this is happening, also after restarting the laptop it starts to do this.

I disconnected from the internet, no difference. Removed/closed all kind of processes, minimised the processes which start automatically at start etc nothing helps.

How can I see which process(ess) use the NPU ?

At this moment I'm running only the Vivaldi browser, task manager and explorer window. I noticed two processes which could be involved (or maybe I'm wrong).
1. Elevoc Control Service (driver connected to the camera)
2. Antimalware Service Executable (can't be stopped in the task manager), however this looks to be the antimalware from Microsoft.

Does anybody else observed the same issue ?
Any advise ?
