PC makers bet on AI to rekindle sales

PC and microchip companies such as AMD and Intel are turning to neural processing units (NPUs) to boost sales of higher-end laptops. These NPUs provide AI capabilities and can outperform traditional processors for AI tasks with lower power consumption. Although there are currently limited applications that make full use of these capabilities, chipmakers believe more are on the way. PC vendors like Dell and Lenovo showcased their latest laptops with AI demos at CES, including features like a dedicated AI key and Microsoft's generative AI software.
