Once a discrete GPU lands beside the iGPU-less 265F, what is left of its 25 TOPS AI story?

  Share of the spotlight follows job size. Once a discrete GPU lands, it takes heavy inference and image work, leaving the built-in rating of roughly 25 TOPS to the always-on lane: meeting backgrounds and denoise idle along without touching the card. VNNI and 20 cores still cover ONNX batch jobs on the CPU side.

  Since this F part needs a discrete GPU just to light up a screen, picking it means declining to pay for an iGPU you cannot use, which fits gamers and heavy-AI builders. If your AI stops at light chores, even 25 TOPS is an option you pay for. Divide the load before you argue over resources, keep the always-on lane on the accelerator, and read the occupancy meters to see who is actually working.
