Sponsored Content AI-enhanced PCs are ubiquitous, paired with hefty promises. In this insightful session, Intel’s Tom Pieser joins to discuss the design and delivery of the Core Ultra 200V processors tailored for business functionality. Understand where on-device AI becomes effective today. View the full session here.

The dialogue initiates with critical concerns among IT teams: power efficiency, performance benchmarks, and security frameworks. Tom emphasizes Intel’s top goal: achieving superior performance with reduced power usage compared to prior iterations, highlighting a notable boost in integrated graphics performance. He further delves into the platform’s AI computational capabilities and bids for its importance as workloads increasingly traverse across CPU, GPU, and NPU.

Battery longevity surfaces as a pivotal discussion point. Dispelling vague assurances, the dialogue encompasses practical interpretations of ‘all-day’ battery life, factoring in user habits and system configurations. Pre-deployment benchmarks are juxtaposed against real-world enterprise conditions, like extended video conferencing scenarios with added graphical effects.

This conversation extends to locally-executed generative AI versus cloud-based alternatives, spotlighting the advantages of processing data locally. Running intensive tasks, such as image generation, locally offers benefits like reduced latency, enhanced privacy, diminished reliance on connectivity, and cost advantages subject to service licensing models.

We further explore the realms of security and usability. The discussion addresses Intel’s collaboration with partners on employing local AI-driven threat detection and how offloading certain processes to the GPU or NPU can enhance user responsiveness. Additionally, it highlights potential proactive security benefits that future AI PCs might deliver.
