what the fuck is a “AI PC”?
It means “VC money now 🥺🥺”
Microsoft is chasing VC money now?
Not VC, more like hedge funds and institutional investors. But yes, all public companies work primarily for higher share prices, and then everything else. I’ve experienced a public US company paying more than a million USD to save 300k just so they can put out good articles about themselves that they kept promises to shareholders.
Branding. It’s just saying it’s capable of handling local models on copilot.
It’s repurposed cryptocurrency architecture with a price hike. They have no video output, and you can string dozens of GPUs to a single motherboard to sell processing power online.
Nope.
They’re just regular PC’s with an NPU. These are consumer products they’re trying to push. Like how they added the copilot key to keyboards.
They get to put a sticker on that inflates the value by $600, then fill it with spyware.
sounds amazing
Found the shareholder.
At least it should result in less laptops being made with ridiculously small amounts of non upgradable RAM.
Requiring a large amount of compute power for AI is just stupid though. It will probably come in the form of some sort of dedicated AI accelerator that’s not usable for general purpose computing.
And remember that your data and telemetry are sent to Microsoft servers to train Copilot AI. You may also need to subscribe to some advanced AI features
And that’s when I’ll start using Linux as my daily driver.
Honestly installing Ubuntu is almost idiot proof at this point.
Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.
You have fun sticking to ms running your 8gb of ram, that’ll show em!
AI PC sounds like something that will be artificially personal more than anything else.
Yes, AI PC like in the movie HER
Thus, Windows will again be instrumental in driving growth for the minimum memory capacity acceptable in new PCs.
I love that the primary driver towards more powerful hardware is Windows just bloating itself bigger and bigger. It’s a grift in its own way, consumers are subsidizing the requirements for Microsoft’s idiotic data processing. And MSFT is not alone in this, Google doing away with cookies also conveniently shifts away most ad processing from their servers into Chrome (while killing their competition).
no ai ain’t gonna come into my pc
