AI PCs should include an NPU, Copilot, and the Copilot key
Why it matters: Microsoft and multiple chipmakers have spent months heralding the arrival of the "AI PC," which utilizes generative AI and large language models to facilitate various tasks in new ways. However, the definition of an AI PC remains somewhat unclear. At a recent event in Taipei, Intel began defining the specifics that it agreed upon with Microsoft.
Uncannily Fast: Generative AI services can produce a high-quality visual patchwork but are usually quite sluggish. Researchers from MIT and Adobe have developed a potential solution to this time-consuming issue, with a new super-fast image generation method with minimal impact on quality. The technique spits out about 20 images per second.
