A new trend is slowly taking shape that could redefine the future of personal computers (PCs). As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow in popularity, PC manufacturers are now integrating AI technology into their devices, potentially changing the course of the PC market.
These PCs will ship with AI-capable chipsets, such as the Ryzen Pro 7040 series
The past few years have seen a decline in PC sales, attributed mainly to a drop following the pandemic-induced surge. However, industry experts believe that the rise of generative AI products like Microsoft’s ChatGPT and Baidu’s Ernie Bot could be a game-changer. These AI tools have already attracted a significant user base, with ChatGPT garnering over 100 million weekly active users globally and Baidu’s Ernie Bot amassing 70 million users in China.
This growing interest in AI has led to a new type of PC – AI PCs. These are not just your standard computers; they come equipped with chips designed for AI capabilities. For instance, Advanced Micro Devices released the Ryzen Pro 7040 series, one of the first x86 processors with an integrated AI engine. By 2027, it is forecasted that 86% of the 34 million laptops shipped in China will be AI PCs.
PC makers like Lenovo are looking to transform “personal computers” into “personalised computers” using AI. Imagine a laptop that can draft work reports based on your preferences and past documents – that’s the future Lenovo envisions.
Moreover, the AI revolution isn’t just limited to PCs. Smartphone giants like Oppo are eagerly integrating AI into their phones. Oppo’s introduction of its large language model, AndesGPT, aims to enhance user interactions with their devices. Similarly, Vivo plans to incorporate its AI model into its new operating system, OriginOS 4.
