Canalysup to dateThe study reveals that havingAIFunctional personal computers (AI) PC) is expected to revolutionize the PC market landscape in the next three to five years, becoming a watershed moment for the industry. The study further states that AI PCs will account for more than 60% of the PC market by 2027, with business applications leading the way.
An AI PC is defined as a personal computer equipped with a dedicated chipset/block to host end-side AI runtime loads. While almost all PCs are capable of running cloud-based AI applications, AI PCs are unique because they are equipped with end-side Neural Processing Units (NPUs) specifically designed to realize the AI benefits of real-time responsiveness, low latency, enhanced security, and cost control.
Canalys predicts that AI PCs will take up 20% share of the PC market by 2024, and this will grow rapidly to over 60% by 2027. The commercial sector will be the main application area for AI PCs, with more than 60% of AI PCs being used for commercial purposes by 2027.
top PC vendor
In keeping with this trend, headline PC vendors including Dell, HP and Lenovo plan to launch a series of new models with AI acceleration starting in 2024. These PCs, which will feature next-generation CPUs and Windows 11 for a superior AI experience, are expected to hit the market during the 2024/2025 Windows Update.
chip maker
Intel,AMD, chipmakers such as Apple and Qualcomm are contributing to a growing trend in the PC industry by working to integrate dedicated AI acceleration blocks (NPUs) into CPUs. This trend will drive a new wave of AI PCs.
The rise of the AI PC heralds a transformation of the PC market that will enable amazing innovations in efficiency, productivity, collaboration and creativity. Providing users with a differentiated and outstanding experience is critical in this process, and technology vendors will need to intensify their collaboration with the ecosystem, clearly explain the benefits of AI PCs to users, and maintain high privacy and ethical standards at all times.
