"Rapid Rise: AI-Powered PCs Set to Dominate 60% of PC Shipments by 2027"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by TechSpot
Shipments of AI PCs, equipped with neural processing units (NPUs) for running generative AI tasks locally, are projected to reach nearly 50 million units in 2022 and could exceed three times that figure by 2027. These AI PCs are categorized by their NPU performance, with hardware-enabled AI PCs currently shipping and next-generation AI PCs expected to arrive later this year. Advanced AI PCs offering over 60 tera operations per second (TOPS) are anticipated in the coming years. IDC forecasts a sharp increase in hardware-enabled AI PC shipments over the next two years, followed by a dominance of next-gen AI PCs by 2027, with commercial and consumer applications driving the market growth.
