The PC CPU market experienced a slight dip in shipments during the first quarter of 2024, with ** million units shipped compared to ** million in the previous quarter. However, this temporary decline may soon be overshadowed by the growing demand for AI-capable PCs, which are projected to surge from ** million units in 2024 to an impressive *** million by 2028. This shift towards AI-powered devices signals a significant transformation in the PC industry.
AI PCs driving a wave of innovation
The introduction of AI-capable PCs is set to revolutionize the computing landscape. In May 2024, Microsoft unveiled Copilot+ PCs, a new category of Windows machines designed specifically for AI applications. These devices, equipped with specialized AI chips, are part of a broader AI PC market that manufacturers are positioning as their flagship products.
The neuromorphic computing market is experiencing rapid growth
As well as CPU and GPU processors found in traditional PCs, AI PCs accommodate another key component: neural processing units (NPUs). These accelerators serve as the brains behind AI, designed to supercharge generative AI and machine learning tasks.
