"Rapid Rise: AI-Powered PCs Set to Dominate 60% of PC Shipments by 2027"

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.

"Rapid Rise: AI PCs to Dominate 60% of PC Shipments by 2027"

IDC forecasts that shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) PCs will grow from nearly 50 million units in 2024 to over 167 million in 2027, representing nearly 60% of all PC shipments worldwide. The rise of AI PCs is driven by the introduction of AI-specific silicon called neural processing units (NPUs) that run AI tasks more efficiently. Three types of NPU-enabled AI PCs have been identified, with next-generation AI PCs expected to dominate the market by 2027. The shift to AI PCs aims to enhance performance, privacy, and security while lowering costs.

iPhone Dominates Declining Smartphone Market, Reaches Record Market Share

The global smartphone market is expected to decline in 2023, reaching the lowest level of shipments in a decade, due to a combination of factors including the pandemic, economic challenges, and a lack of exciting new smartphone technology. However, market intelligence company IDC predicts that Apple's iPhone market share will reach an all-time high this year, defying the overall market trend. IDC expects iOS shipments to grow by 1.1% in 2023, reaching a share of 19.9%, while Android is forecasted to decline by 6.0%. Apple's success is attributed to trade-in deals, buy-now, pay-later schemes, and efforts to persuade both iPhone and Android users to upgrade.
