During the event held in the city of São Paulo, the Intel invited journalists and influencers to talk about the market AI PCs, which has everything to change our lives, due to the advances delivered by new processors intel core ultra and its ability to handle artificial intelligence (AI) tasks on the device itself. The company is optimistic and hopes that “by 2028, 80% of notebooks sold worldwide will be based on AI PCs, PCs with artificial intelligence”, according to a release from Ricardo Ferraz, Director of the PC area at Intel Brazil.

What is an AI PC? 4qf2t
As the name suggests, AIPC is a type of notebook with NPU, acronym for ““neural processing unit” in English, which is the name given to an area of the processor specialized in carrying out artificial intelligence tasks. The term began to be more commented in 2023, when the Intel announced its processors intel core ultra 1st generation of the Meteor Lake family.
Ricardo Ferraz, in fact, explains that the growth of this market for artificial intelligence solutions has everything to be astonishing:
Innovation in the field of artificial intelligence will be exponential. Of all the great technology-related revolutions, this is perhaps the most impressive. AIs will change the world, helping people and enhancing work, enabling us to get the best out of ourselves.
Ricardo Ferraz, Director of the PC area at Intel Brazil
Another interesting detail about these computers focused on artificial intelligence is that they have several processing factors on a single chip: U, GPU e also the NPU, mentioned above. This means that, in addition to being extremely powerful, notebooks with this t kit are more economical in of energy expenditure, better divide the performance of simultaneous tasks and are also more compact products.
What do AI PCs do? 1k3y11
These models come to optimize our lives in different ways, bringing to the notebook functions that previously depended on an internet connection and data centers. That is, a AIPC has dedicated processing power to perform AI tasks outside even without a web connection.
This accelerates the use of artificial intelligence apps and personal assistants, as the AI language models used to perform them can be installed on the machine. And, of course, when this is not possible, AI PCs can also have the traditional connection with other language models located in the cloud.
The beauty of this is being able to perform tasks such as canceling microphone noise, blurring the background of the webcam image and even using generative AI in apps like Photoshop or Audacity, all locally, consuming less energy.
Despite being very focused on artificial intelligence, these notebooks don't just have this feature as a highlight: they all hit the market with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, ports with Thunderbolt 4 and are also 2x faster in games. They also deliver increased performance and increased efficiency.
Ricardo Ferraz, Director of the PC area at Intel Brazil
Compared to traditional notebooks, “the AI PCs with processors intel core ultra deliver up to 38% energy savings and 47% more performance”, he states Ricardo Ferraz. And when it comes to performing AI activities, they are 2,2 times faster.
An example presented during the event focused on notebooks for artificial intelligence was research on weather forecasting, based on the 's location data. Yuri Daglian, Applications Engineer at Intel Brazil, mentions that, for now, the service Copilot artificial intelligence, already integrated into Windows, still works connected to the cloud, but, in the future, there is a chance that this will also run locally and without the need for an internet connection.
Companies that already use Windows Copilot in their daily lives, they already report that there was a 30% gain in productivity, by asking the AI tool to create meeting minutes, simple presentations and also provide with more tasks.
Another resource used in the work are improvements to video calls: AI PCs can perform automatic image framing, reduce noise for those on the other end of the call and can also blur (or remove) the background. During the example cited at the event, only 20% of the total capacity of the NPU was used in this type of task, leaving this part of the processor free to take care of more tasks, while maintaining the U e GPU completely free to carry out other tasks.
And for those content creators, great news: notebooks with the processor intel core ultra they speed up video editing by performing fast rendering and also gain the autonomy to perform text-to-audio and audio-to-text transcriptions.
Last but not least, security is also another point where artificial intelligence can help, understanding the traditional uses of the machine and , to detect anomalies that indicate the presence of security tools. anti-phishing, ransomware, malwares and other types of computer viruses.
Operation of NPUs 42482j
The models in the line intel core ultra have the first neural processing unit integrated from Intel, also called NPU. In a simplified way, this is the area of the processor that will only take care of artificial intelligence (AI) tasks in different parts of the computer, giving autonomy to the U and GPU to take care of other activities at their full capacity.
This will not only enable low power consumption and high quality while delivering entirely new PC experiences, but it will also allow the computer to no longer need to use server-side graphics cards, with greater local performance so that, in the background, everything is running. sent to the cloud without any problems.
The artificial intelligence coprocessor can also be monitored and configured in the Windows Task Manager, so that owners can have a brief view of its performance. Check out an image with the intel core ultra running on Windows 11:
Intel Arc GPUs 5f52p
Announced in March 2022The Intel Arc GPUs they arrive integrated into the processors and ready to work together with Us and NPUs. Yuri Daglian mentions that, in relation to the models available on the market, s can expect performance similar to the Intel Arc A380, but without the need to operate in a dedicated manner.
These GPUs currently deliver up to twice the graphics performance of previous generation integrated graphics cards. And we will continue to carry out this development in the future. With the launch of Intel Ultra, it was the first time we included the first generation Intel Arc architecture in a processor and, in the future, we will continue to bring even more performance, all integrated and powered by Intel.
Yuri Daglian, Applications Engineer at Intel Brazil
These GPUs are important for processing activities across the computer. Of course, when talking about innovation, the NPU is the biggest novelty of the new processors, but it's worth ing that having an integrated GPU that is also developed by Intel is an important point in this sense.
Market expectations 5jy11
Intel is optimistic about the number of models that will hit the market with Intel Core Ultra processors in 2024. At the launch event in November 2023, it was highlighted that around 350 companies were already working on machines with these processors. That said, the company has an estimate that 100 million AI PCs should be sold by the end of 2025.
We estimate that 100 million AI PCs will be sold by 2025 and, by 2028, around 80% of computers sold worldwide will be specialized in AI.
Ricardo Ferraz, Director of the PC area at Intel Brazil
To achieve this growth, Intel has an AI PC acceleration program that encourages the development of applications for artificial intelligence, which includes companies like Microsoft, but also has startups and smaller groups.
The initiative was launched in October 2023 and has more than 100 software development partners, with names such as Adobe, Audacity, BlackMagic, BufferZone, CyberLink, DeepRender, MAGIX, Rewind AI, Skylum, Topaz, VideoCom, Wondershare Filmora, XSplit and Zoom.
In it, the Intel assists developers with releasing APIs to aid in the development of AI-based applications in a variety of fields: audio effects, content creation, gaming, security, streaming, video collaboration, and more.
The goal is for more than 300 features to be created through this AI PC acceleration program and the OpenVino software, which performs optimization so that heavier applications run on less powerful computers, was selected to be used as a base.
Caitlin Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing and general manager of the PC Client category at Intel, highlighted during the launch of the program that the main focus is to provide the infrastructure and knowledge so that partners can develop resources for Intel Core Ultra processors in their first year on the market:
Intel recognizes that software leadership is critical to the AI PC experience, and we are uniquely positioned to lead the industry with an open ecosystem approach. With a long history of developing artificial intelligence and a deep network of software development engineering relationships, Intel will play an active role in driving connections and innovations that drive new use cases and experiences on the PC.
Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing and general manager of the PC Client category at Intel
