A perspective by Indrajit Belgundi, Sr Director & GM, Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologies India

"Companies that win invest in technology, and AI PCs are a key part of that," emphasized Sam Burd at Dell Technologies World. This statement underscores the imminent groundbreaking evolution of the global PC market. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into personal computers signifies more than just an enhancement of features; it heralds a transformative journey, reshaping the utilization of PCs.

Think of a device that is not just equipped with the usual CPU and GPU, but with an NPU, a neural processing unit, and is ready to take care of voluminous data sets efficiently. Indeed, the tale of the AI-driven PC isn't just about tech innovation; it's about strategically placing personal computers at the core of productivity, creativity, and privacy.

AI-PCs can be described as an unparalleled 'companion' for various tasks, empowering users to execute generative AI applications directly on the PC. This advancement holds the potential for heightened privacy, lower expenses, and minimized latency. Consider these devices your personalized tools offering live guidance, translating languages during video calls, and executing complex AI tasks autonomously.

Certainly, the growth prospects within the AI-PC market demand careful consideration. As per the IDC forecast, the integration of NPU-enabled AI PCs is anticipated to experience a substantial surge, projected to escalate from approximately 50 million units in 2024 to exceed 167 million units by 2027. This trajectory signifies a significant market share, constituting nearly 60% of global PC shipments.* Jeff Clarke's outlook at Dell Technologies World 2024 aligns with this upward momentum, foreseeing the deployment of over 2 billion AI PCs by 2030.
