The uniqueness of Neural Engine of Mac, among the chip industry/market

From Wikipedia: > The neural engine allows Apple to implement neural network and machine learning in a more energy-efficient manner than using either the main CPU or the GPU. However, third party apps cannot use the Neural Engine, leading to similar neural network performance to older iPhones. Reading this Reddit hardly and hardly find the answer, I'd love to ask: What is the Neural Engine in new generation Mac architectures? I know there is CPU which is a component that receives commands (instructions) and works in front of a memory (RAM), and I know there is GPU who receives commands and works in front of another memory (matrix driven). Is NE also a similar component to them? If so, does it also have a unique instruction-set? Specific programming/logic/script languages? Equivalent competitors in the market/industry? If as a computer man, I want to benefit from it, what apps can I develop with it for example, which is clearly better to do with it, than with GPU? I would love for specific details rather than general lines as Apple provides to the chip
