AI PCs accounted for 14% of all PC shipped in the second quarter with Apple leading the way, research firm Canalys said on Tuesday, as added AI capabilities help reinvigorate demand. From a report: PC providers and chipmakers have pinned high hopes on devices that can perform AI tasks directly on the system, bypassing the cloud, as the industry slowly emerges from its worst slump in years. These devices typically feature neural processing units dedicated to performing AI tasks.
Apple commands about 60% of the AI PC market, the research firm said in the report, pointing to its Mac portfolio incorporating M-series chips with a neural engine.
