    • Abstract:
      Microsoft has released guidelines for what constitutes an "AI PC," but the definition is mostly focused on branding. According to Intel, vendors will need three specific components to advertise their machines as AI PCs: NPU, CPU, and GPU powered silicon. An NPU, or neural processing unit, is a processor designed for specific AI tasks, although its exact capabilities are unclear. Microsoft also requires that an AI PC include its Copilot assistant, with a dedicated button on the keyboard. However, it is not clear how an AI PC is better than a regular PC for consumers.
