I honestly have no Idea what AI does to a processor, and would therefore not pay extra for the badge.
If it provided a significant speed improvement or something, then yeah, sure. Nobody has really communicated to me what the benefit is. It all seems like hand waving.

Parallel processing capability. CPUs historically worked with mostly-non-massively-parallelizable tasks; maybe you’d use a GPU if you wanted that.
I mean, that’s not “AI” as such, but LLMs are a neat application that uses them.
On-CPU video acceleration does parallel processing too.

what they mean is that they are putting in dedicated processors or other hardware just to run an LLM . it doesnt speed up anything other than the faux-AI tool they are implementing.
LLMs require a ton of math that is better suited to video processors than the general purpose cpu on most machines.
