Over the past two years, Intel launched its first “AI PCs,” heralding the arrival of a new age of personal computing. These new PCs feature AI-enhanced performance and efficiency alongside new tools for users to leverage. Powered by Intel’s performance hybrid x86 architecture, these reimagined devices have kick-started a brand-new market and will quickly become the standard for new PCs in the years ahead.
The transition to AI PCs is more than just hype; it’s the next significant platform shift, comparable to the evolution from mainframes to PCs or from desktop to mobile. AI PCs deliver generative AI and real-time machine learning directly to your device, rather than relying on a connection to the cloud. They present a transformative shift in computing, delivering powerful AI capabilities directly to users and businesses.
Robert Hallock is Vice President and General Manager of the Channel Segment at Intel Corporation. Recently, Hallock published a blog, entitled, Five Smart Things AI PCs Can Do, found here, and here’s a quick summary
Five Smart Things AI PCs Can Do
- Automating Digital Chores: organising emails, scheduling meetings and capturing meeting notes; it’s always ready to help get things done.
- Bolstering Security: AI PCs take advantage of the latest security features that help protect your data and privacy. McAfee Deepfake Detector utilizes advanced AI detection models to identify AI-generated audio within videos, helping ensure the content you consume and share is authentic.
- Enhancing Creativity: Revolutionises content creation; editors can use AI-transcribed audio to find speakers and edit timeline clips, colourists can leverage the Film Look Creator effect to emulate photometric film processes, and AI can also be used to track motion and pan audio. Digital marketers and online sellers can create photos and promotional content, templates, custom backgrounds and videos. With features like AI Magic Designer and AI Cowriter, simple text prompts generate editable designs and text in just seconds, regardless of skill level.
- Optimising Gaming: Offers a whole new level of performance and immersion. AI algorithms can boost frames-per-second (FPS) performance, ensuring smoother and more responsive experiences. Game developers can give their customers more performance, and increased fluidity is achieved by the ability to generate additional frames quickly and easily.
- Customising Education: Personalised learning offers analysis of learning styles and preferences, tailoring educational content to suit each student’s needs, and AI can provide customised resources and recommendations to guide students toward greater success.
AI PCs are more than just powerful machines. They are versatile tools that can enhance our lives, and the list of things they can help with keeps growing as more apps are purpose-built for them. From productivity and content creation to security, gaming and personalised learning, the possibilities are endless.
