March 21 news: The 2024 China Flash Memory Market Summit was held in Shenzhen, with the theme "Storage Cycles, Unleashing Potential."
According to media reports, Intel China's Technology General Manager, Gau Yu, stated at the summit that in the future, entry-level AI PCs will definitely require 32GB of memory as standard, and the current 16GB of memory will inevitably be phased out.
Starting shipments next year, 64G PCs will place high demands on SSD performance and capacity for AI PCs.
As AI PC performance continues to increase, their memory and flash storage capacity will follow suit. AI PCs are poised to be a major growth driver for the storage industry in the coming years.
Intel is a pioneer of the AI PC concept. In October 2023, Intel launched the industry's first AI PC acceleration program, followed by the release of the new Core Ultra processor in December of the same year.
This is Intel's first AI PC processor, featuring a built-in AI computing core across the entire line, enabling users to deploy AI models on the edge without requiring an internet connection.
According to the latest report from market research firm Canalys, global AI PC shipments are projected to reach 48 million units in 2024, accounting for 18% of total PC shipments.
By 2025, global AI PC shipments are forecast to surpass 100 million units, representing 40% of total PC shipments; by 2028, reaching 205 million units.
