Microsoft’s Strict Definition of AI PCs

Key Points:

– Microsoft has a more stringent definition of what qualifies as an artificial intelligence (AI) PC compared to Intel.
– According to an Intel executive, Microsoft’s definition includes a powerful processor, such as the Intel Core Ultra, which enables AI capabilities.
– The AI PC should also have software-based Copilot capabilities.
– Microsoft’s definition further requires a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard.

Hot Take:

While both Microsoft and Intel are involved in the AI space, it seems Microsoft has set higher standards for what they consider an AI PC. From a powerful processor to dedicated software and a physical key on the keyboard, they certainly want to make sure that AI capabilities are not compromised. It’ll be interesting to see how this stricter definition impacts the development and adoption of AI PCs in the future.
