Kacbu lists 42 Processors that stand out for On-device AI: Qualcomm, AMD, Samsung +4. Each product is here because its editorial assessment found it strong for this use; the order is the Match score, computed from official specs and verified editorial tags, with the reasons under every card. The newest was released in 2026.
For on-device AI the separate neural unit on the chip and its stated capacity decide. A unit being present does not make a feature work: the operating system and the application have to recognise it. Memory sets a ceiling too, because the model has to fit. Look at the capacity the maker states, not at the marketing headline.
Each card carries what sets the product apart. Open the product page for its strengths, weaknesses and alternatives.
