It has a CPU [1], which makes the on-device AI make a bit more sense. For comparison, an iPhone 18 pro has a CPU chip and an N1 wireless chip; I wonder how much discussion there is in Apple on combining these chips. Or would Apple combine their N1 with the C1 first?
Pretty much any MCU is going to include at least one CPU (as does the N1, it is just running the radio stack), but perhaps what you are referring to is the fact that this device has an application core? Also worth noting that there is a nRF7120E variant which includes an NPU[0] as well.
