However, the definition of an AI PC remains somewhat unclear.
At a recent event in Taipei, Intel began defining the specifics that it agreed upon with Microsoft.
This is the first confirmation of rumors thatemergedregarding Copilot and increasingly prevalent hardware-based accelerators late last year.
Microsoft beganpushingCopilot to Windows 11 users last year, but that currently operates in the cloud.
Additionally, the company has listed 40 TOPs of NPU performance as a requirement for next-generation AI PCs.
NPUs have begun to appear in Intel’sMeteor Lake(a.k.a.
Core Ultra), AMD’sStrix Point, and Qualcomm’sSnapdragon X Eliteplatform.
Recent graphics cards from Nvidia, Intel, and AMD can also locally run AI processes like Nvidia’sRTX-powered chatbot.
In Taipei, Intel alsoannounceda new initiative to provide developers with resources to create new software to leverage AI.
Currently, AI applications mostly involve text and image generation, image processing, and enhanced search engines.
