In the AI PC assistant scenario, users can have their PC, personal files, photos, and videos processed by AI, ensuring they have a reliable assistant. For document processing, the AI Office assistant, through Office suite plugins, supports various AI functions for multiple work scenarios and languages, enhancing office efficiency. Hainan Ofeisi Information Technology Co., Ltd., demonstrated how to efficiently handle emails, spreadsheet data, and automatically generate work documents using AI, improving work efficiency. Zhongke Chuangda demonstrated how to quickly draft contracts and analyze litigation cases intelligently using AI, providing professional document writing capabilities. For knowledge-intensive fields, RAG-type applications of AI local knowledge bases can help individuals and businesses share RAG, allowing knowledge wealth to be utilized more fully and efficiently. Xinghuan Information Technology demonstrated how to build a financial local knowledge base using AI, making it easy for users to access extensive knowledge bases; in AI multimedia processing, not only can it help users generate and post-process images, but it can also intelligently generate short videos, 3D models, or slow-motion videos, unleashing limitless creativity. In the commercial field, Dolphin Technologies demonstrated the use of AI to generate high-definition slow-motion videos and showed how to efficiently detect production line defects using slow-motion, streamlining troubleshooting. In AI PC management, AI applications can also make PC management easier and more efficient through AI-enhanced remote management, security protection, cross-device IT management, and operation and maintenance functions.
Zhipu AI demonstrated PC intelligent control and Q&A, intelligent document processing, as well as PPT presentation and video presentation functions, making intelligent device management easier. Shenzhou Yino shared an intelligent asset management solution for enterprises, intelligently managing various assets based on AI large models, conducting rapid inventory, analysis, and generating data reports to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency. Commercial AI PC promotes digital transformation, benefiting thousands of industries with full-stack AI.
Generative AI brings intelligent experiences to commercial users in six major scenarios, and in industry applications, Intel empowers local ISVs based on the strong capabilities of AI PC to create full-stack AI solutions, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and promoting the digital transformation of various industries.
For example, in the education industry, building large language models on AI PC terminals can greatly improve teachers' lesson preparation efficiency and quality, contribute to alleviating the contradiction between work and study for teachers, and realize the sharing of high-quality educational resources; similarly, in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, deploying large models on AI PC helps discover new drug targets, enhancing efficiency in drug research and development for doctors and researchers. In the highly anticipated field of rehabilitation and elderly care, the industry utilizes AI PC to assess the health of the elderly through motion capture and provide rehabilitation and fitness guidance, empowering elderly health with technology; for government office scenarios, considering the need for data privacy control, AI PC terminals are very suitable for deploying local large models to improve government office efficiency, benefiting people's livelihoods and providing new productivity. Nanjing Yingqi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. uses the Cool Ultra processor and the OpenVINO? deep learning suite as carriers to create low-cost, high-quality digital human solutions, achieving rapid and accurate digital human intelligent Q&A.
Today, AI is entering various industries such as retail digital humans, financial customer service, and professional design, driven by Intel AI PC technology and the joint efforts of partners, providing intelligent "core" power to various industries. Intel's "core" power consists of full-stack AI products and solutions, inclusive and open industrial ecology, and the cultivation of AI professional talents, jointly ushering in the era of "artificial intelligence+" and accelerating the digital transformation of Chinese industries to unleash greater value from AI.
The three major engines plus the three major rules achieve AI PC.
In the era of generative AI, innovative AI applications and industry applications rely on powerful AI computing power.
The three major engines empower generative AI. The powerful CPU+GPU+NPU three AI engines of the Core Ultra processor enable the local execution of a 200-billion-parameter LLM. The strong performance and energy efficiency cores in the CPU bring higher data throughput, boosting performance; the Intel Xe GPU brings about twice the performance and performance-to-power ratio, making video editing faster and efficiency soar; based on Intel's 4nm process and 3D high-performance hybrid architecture design, and the support of the neural network processing unit NPU for continuous AI applications, the battery life soars. The powerful computing power of the Intel Core Ultra processor enables the inference process to be placed on the terminal device, allowing a 200-billion-parameter large language model to run normally on the AI PC without internet connection, producing high-quality images and videos, balancing the cost and efficiency of creativity. For commercial AI PC, Intel has launched the vPro platform based on Intel Core Ultra, organically integrating AI with commercial platform productivity, security, manageability, and stability, benefiting enterprises to improve efficiency.
The Three Laws guiding AI PCs point the way forward. With the burgeoning use of generative AI rapidly transforming commercial landscapes, Intel has outlined the Economic, Physical, and Data Confidentiality laws for AI PCs based on real-world applications, emphasizing the necessity of local generative AI. Under the Economic Law, processing AI data locally can reduce cloud service costs, optimizing affordability; the Physical Law demands improved transmission speeds between cloud and edge to enhance the timeliness and accuracy of AI services, overcoming bottlenecks; and under the Data Confidentiality Law, ensuring the security and privacy of user data is crucial to prevent misuse and leakage.
