Intel Aims for 100 Million AI PCs by 2024, Bringing Faster On-Device AI to the Masses
-
The Copilot key will be a permanent fixture on future AI PCs to enable easy access to AI features.
-
AI PCs will need to meet a minimum NPU performance threshold of 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS). This requirement will likely increase over time.
-
Intel is closely collaborating with Microsoft on the AI PC vision and plans to ship 100 million AI accelerator-equipped PCs by end of 2024.
-
The goal is to transition AI processing from the cloud to on-device, enabling faster responses for AI features like Copilot.
-
It's not yet necessary for most people to upgrade, but future AI PCs will be powered by on-device AI capabilities.
