London, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — AI is coming to PCs, but Apple and NVIDIA are already locking in creative and gaming users, and the main opportunity for new technology recently announced by Intel and others is the large enterprise market and development. away from user space. A new Omdia report states:
Mr. Omdia AI PC: Emerging device class found that there are two basic technology options to enable AI inference on PCs. One is based on traditional his PC architecture enhanced with high-performance GPUs, and the other is based on a smartphone-style system-on-chip that incorporates dedicated AI acceleration. While some PC makers are starting to ship their powerful NVIDIA GPUs in 2019, taking an early lead with the first option, Apple is essentially starting to ship its second option with the Apple Silicon MacBook. Defined options.
The concept of a PC was always meant to be personal, and Omdia researchers created different user personas to understand how users' needs differ for applications and performance requirements. Did. The “corporate warrior” persona, which refers to business users who frequently use collaboration tools and travel frequently, is best served by two major players, while the most It will not be. As such, it is being heavily targeted by Intel's Core Ultra CPUs as the company fights to re-enter his AI field. However, Arm-based systems like Apple's have important advantages.
“The importance of unified memory for AI on the PC cannot be underestimated,” said Alexander Harrowell, principal analyst for advanced computing at Omdia. “A limiting factor in the types of AI models that can be run is VRAM, which is very popular. 7B Parameter classes for AI models such as Mistral-7B require at least 8GB, and memory bandwidth is the limiting factor for performance. It's a big advantage that Arm has invested in his unified memory architecture dating back to the 1980s. ”
This report is now available on Omdia Advanced Computing Intelligence Service It also covers major silicon vendors and PC OEMs, as well as technology and user personas.
