My issue with your comment is that you're acting as if you're clarifying something, but you're just replacing it with another confusion.
There are three generations of AI Engines: AIE, AIE-ML and AIE-MLv2.
The latter are known as XDNA and XDNA2, which are available on laptops and the 8000G series on desktops. The former is exclusively available on select FPGAs specialising in DSP using single precision floating point.
The AI focused FPGAs use AIE-MLv2 and therefore are identical to XDNA2.

the cores/arches themselves are referred to by a bagillion different names AIE1 AIE2 AIEML Phoenix Strix blah blah (and *DNA refers to the driver/runtime not the core/arch itself) but NPU exclusively refers to consumer edge SoC products.
