Unveiling the Mysteries of an AI-Powered Computer: What Can It Really Do

Every⁢ major PC manufacturer is now incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into their‍ machines,⁢ but why?

Consumer-oriented generative AI (genAI) services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and ⁣Google’s Gemini are already available through cloud-based platforms.

Forrester Research predicts that the upcoming year will ‍be known as “the year of the AI ⁣PC.”

An AI PC, as defined by Forrester, includes an embedded AI processor and algorithms tailored to enhance AI workloads on⁤ the CPU, ‌GPU, and NPU. NPUs enable PCs to execute AI tasks‍ at high speeds by delegating specific functions.

Forrester’s report‍ highlights how AI processing has traditionally been reliant ⁣on cloud services like Microsoft Teams. However, the‍ emergence of AI PCs is ‌shifting⁢ this paradigm⁤ by⁤ bringing processing power⁢ to local devices running any ‌OS.

Leading tech companies such as AMD, Dell, HP, Intel, Apple,‍ Nvidia, and Lenovo are⁤ all gearing up to introduce groundbreaking innovations in the ⁤realm of ⁢AI PCs within⁢ the‌ next year. This development ‌coincides with a critical period for Windows users as Windows 10 will reach its‌ end of⁤ life support next October – prompting users to consider upgrading to Windows 11⁢ along with new hardware purchases.
