TOPS = 2 × MAC unit count × Frequency / 1 Trillion
Multiply Accumulate (MAC) operation executes the mathematical formulas at the core of AI workloads
Frequency dictates the clock speed (or cycles per second) at which an NPU and its MAC units (as well as a CPU or GPU) operate directly influencing overall Performance
Precision refers to the granularity of calculations with higher precision typically correlating with increased model accuracy at the expense of computational intensity
