As luck would have it, that combo is present in Intel's current-generation desktop processors – 14th-gen Core, aka Core Ultra, aka"Meteor Lake." All models feature a GPU, NPU, and can handle Vector Neural Network Instructions that speed some – surprise! – neural networking tasks, and the DP4a instructions that help GPUs to process video.
Intel used the"Centrino" brand to distinguish Wi-Fi-enabled PCs, and did likewise by giving home entertainment PCs the"Viiv" moniker. Chipzilla still uses the tactic with"vPro" – a brand that denotes processors that include manageability and security for business users.
Another reason AI PCs won't be branded is that all PCs can run AI. Hallock pointed out, however, that PCs without an NPU will run AI at painfully slow speeds.Apple gets in on the AI PC hype, claims fanless M3 MacBook Air is fab for LLMsDell promises 'every PC is going to be an AI PC' whether you like it or not
"Today the graphics engine runs your browser, your webcam, it runs the UI, it is everywhere," he observed – yet only a few years ago GPUs were considered an expensive optional extra. In coming years, Hallock expects AI will become similarly omnipresent, and essential.
