IT@Intel: Preparing Our PC Fleet for the Future of AI

Read/Download White Paper (PDF)

As part of our regular PC refresh cycle, we are deploying AI PCs, which are powered by an eXtensible processing unit (XPU) architecture that integrates multiple types of processing units (such as CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs). We chose to begin deploying AI PCs now to prepare for software applications’ ability to run various features on a GPU or NPU, which drains less power from the battery. Our tests indicate that an AI PC’s battery can last up to 3x longer than a non-AI PC during standard office tasks, with virtually no negative impact on performance or user experience.
