We have been reading a lot, a lot of news about Artificial Intelligence and the many uses it can give us in the future for several months. That does settle. And it is inevitable that hardware fans want to offer focused products, as they already do with gaming. Asus has been one of the first to openly declare that in 2014 they will look for a way to offer PCs with configurations adapted to Artificial Intelligence.
Are you looking for uses of Artificial Intelligence? We list several apps.
Samson Hu, co-CEO of Asus, recently discussed plans to launch the first AI PCs in 2024. Such AI PCs should be priced higher than standard PCs. But he did not specify how PCs with AI would differ.
Asus wants to sell PCs with Artificial Intelligence, which will be more expensive, but does not say what is special about them
It is clear that until a bubble that it could be in settles or is punctured, we will be seeing how supported products and services are sold to us. Microsoft has already begun to roll out the functions of Copilot AI, even bringing it to Windows 10 when they originally had no plans for it. Intel's Meteor Lake will come with a dedicated NPU as part of the processor, which accelerates local AI processing. And AMD expects to release desktop APUs with AI acceleration in January 2024.
The Asus co-CEO told forum attendees that there are about 300 Windows developers working on AI applications that will benefit hardware with local acceleration. This will be a major driver of AI PC sales. The co-CEO of Asus believes that a PC with AI must have more advanced processor families and larger memory quotas, so this could be something that differentiates these AI PCs from consumer PCs.
Asus expects 2024 to be the year that the foundation for AI PCs will be laid, with market penetration percentage in low single digits until 2025 or later. It would be a start, which although it may seem restrained, would mean that there is a very vocal and nightly sector that would look for PCs with these specialized features.
