If you’re still doubting that AI PCs are no different than traditional PCs, you need to continue reading. For starters, traditional AI PCs don’t combine powerful CPUs, GPUs, and dedicated NPUs to handle AI tasks right on the device. Customers who are looking to compete in the AI era will be able to experience the required faster performance, the longer battery life, and the power they need for success.
AI PCs are designed with built-in AI accelerators. These devices offer the necessary compute capabilities that allow customers to run some AI workloads without an internet connection. Whether they’re collaborating remotely, analyzing data, or creating content, AI PCs enhance productivity and efficiency, ensuring your customers are ready for anything that comes their way.
