AI is moving fast. But is your board ready for what comes next?

AI is changing the way we teach and learn. And for interactive flat panels to keep up with AI-powered education, the right AI processing power starts with an NPU.

NPU stands for Neural Processing Unit, a dedicated processor built for AI.

Just like a CPU handles core operations and a GPU handles graphics, the NPU handles AI workloads.

And the strength of an NPU is measured in TOPS.

TOPS stands for Tera Operations Per Second, that is the number of trillions of operations an NPU can perform every second. Higher TOPS means greater AI processing capability.

The NPU also helps enables Edge AI, helping make AI more responsive through on-device computing. Unlike cloud AI, where processing happens on remote servers, Edge AI helps process classroom data on the board.

Different AI needs different levels of compute.

Features like text recognition, text extraction and information retrieval help the board understand and organise information. This is Analytical AI, and it can work with up to 3 TOPS.

Creating lesson plans and quizzes, translating content, and generating images and text are examples of Generative AI. It can require up to 8 TOPS.

And as AI evolves, agentic AI will be the next step. It can help automate multi-step tasks like analysing student performance, identifying learning gaps and preparing personalised follow-up activities, requiring 8 TOPS or more.

The question is: will your board be ready for what comes next?

With up to 10 TOPS NPU, BenQ boards are equipped to support a wide range of AI-powered teaching tools. And the BenQ Board Pro RP05 takes this further with a 10 TOPS NPU, giving it the compute needed for agentic AI and helping keep your classroom ready for the future as advanced AI capabilities evolve.

Because an AI-ready classroom isn’t just about having AI. It’s about having the processing power to make AI useful for teachers and students.
