The rise of AI PCs, which incorporate specialized processors called NPUs, aims to capture the sustained AI build-up and meet the demand for new hardware and software. These devices allow for local AI computation and are optimized for performance and energy efficiency. The latest version of Windows, a dedicated Copilot key, and an NPU capable of over 40 trillion operations per second enable consumers to run Microsoft Copilot on their personal devices. This development comes at a time when there is a shift in AI models from training to inference, with the focus on improving performance and efficiency.
