Intel recently made an ambitious announcement at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. The tech giant revealed its plans to ship an astounding 100 million AI (Artificial Intelligence) PCs by 2025. This move comes as no surprise, considering the projected shipment of 40 million AI PCs this year and an estimated 60 million by 2025, as reported by analysts.
To make this vision a reality, Intel is working closely with hardware partners and software developers. Notably, their collaboration with Microsoft has been instrumental in integrating Copilot into Windows 11 and the upcoming next-generation Windows OS, set to launch this year. Intel Vice President David Feng emphasized the importance of collaborations with application developers in bringing these experiences to life.
The CPU industry has experienced significant growth, as reflected in the 66 million CPUs shipped by both Intel and AMD in Q4 2023. Analyst Jon Peddie Research reported that the industry has fully recovered from recession, attributing the boom to these two tech giants. While not all of these processors feature a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI workloads, the upcoming CPUs from Intel and AMD are expected to incorporate this technology.
Intel has positioned itself as a prominent player in the AI PC market. Their recently released Meteor Lake CPUs for laptops already boast an NPU optimized for AI tasks, albeit currently limited to features like blurring video call backgrounds. However, Intel, along with other industry leaders like Microsoft, AMD, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA, envisions a future where AI chips on CPUs and SoCs enable PCs to perform a multitude of advanced tasks.
Collaborating with Microsoft, Intel aims to define the value of AI PCs. Microsoft’s existing Copilot key and built-in Copilot AI “chatbot” in Windows are just the beginning. Exciting updates are on the horizon for Windows 11, promising even greater integration of AI capabilities.
With Intel’s ambitious goal of shipping 100 million AI PCs by 2025, the future of computing is rapidly evolving towards advanced AI-powered experiences. This collaboration between Intel and its partners marks a significant milestone in revolutionizing the capabilities of personal computers.
