- Lakeside Software Partners with Intel to Utilize Local NPU Power
- Potential advantages include reduced IT costs, improved employee productivity, and more.
- The software company has not confirmed whether this capability will be rolled out to AMD and others.
We’ve heard a lot about self-healing AI PCs in recent months, and now a new release from Lakeside Software and Intel promises smarter, faster, and more efficient devices.
Unveiled at CES 2025, at the heart of these futuristic PCs is a neural processing unit (NPU), an essential piece of hardware that enables real-time analysis and decision-making right on the device.
Intel Core Ultra processors drive AI, while Lakeside’s SysTrack platform harnesses the immense processing power of NPUs to track and optimize performance like never before.

Intel Core Ultra processors drive AI, while Lakeside’s SysTrack platform harnesses the immense processing power of NPUs to track and optimize performance like never before.
SysTrack’s ability to analyze NPU usage goes far beyond simple diagnosis; It also identifies which processes use the NPU, measures utilization levels, and pinpoints which users and applications benefit most from AI capabilities.
Gone are the days of waiting for something to break before fixing it. Lakeside’s edge-based performance monitoring system enables predictive IT management, allowing devices to “self-heal” on the software side before issues impact users.
SysTrack collects 10,000 data points every 15 seconds from each endpoint, feeding an AI engine to deliver predictive analytics. For IT teams, this means fewer headaches and, for users, uninterrupted productivity.
By monitoring all aspects of the PC with AI, from hardware health to application performance and power consumption, SysTrack not only reduces IT costs but also helps organizations meet sustainability goals.
While Intel’s Core Ultra processors are the centerpiece of the announcement, Lakeside Software hasn’t confirmed whether its smart agent magic will extend to AMD or other chipmakers. For now, the focus remains firmly on Intel-powered devices.
