AI PCs driving a wave of innovation
The introduction of AI-capable PCs is set to revolutionize the computing landscape. In May 2024, Microsoft unveiled Copilot+ PCs, a new category of Windows machines designed specifically for AI applications. These devices, equipped with specialized AI chips, are part of a broader AI PC market that manufacturers are positioning as their flagship products.
The neuromorphic computing market is experiencing rapid growth
As well as CPU and GPU processors found in traditional PCs, AI PCs accommodate another key component: neural processing units (NPUs). These accelerators serve as the brains behind AI, designed to supercharge generative AI and machine learning tasks.
