Support NPU Intel and Mac

According to the literature, CaptureOne only supports NPUs (Neural Processing Units) on Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors equipped with Windows 10 or 11 64-bit.

It is damage that Mac or Intel processors with Core NPU do not benefit from this improvement in processing.

When do you plan to offer it to Intel processors equipped with core NPU, Core Ultra 7 265K style?

    Hi Hervé, thanks for the message.

    There are no blockers to using NPUs from our side, in fact you can already do it from the options:
    (see the last option)

    We however do not recommend it, as the Neural Engine (NPU) is often much slower than using a combination of CPU+GPU.
