The 2023 and 2024 years have served as heating for the market the pc, Personal computers capable of executing artificial intelligence charges at home, always very demanding in terms of computing. However, it seems that this year and especially the one that will change things a lot for the PC, equipment that is distinguished by Go provided with an additional chip (NPU).
According to data shared by HP, which has presented several latest generation models in Madrid, sales in Spain of AI PC themselves, those that carry NPU between 40 and 50 yield tops, They will assume at least 6% of the total number of equipment marketed in the market for 2025. However, in 2026, the year of its hatching, they will already represent Around half of personal systems that are sold in this country.
The figures contributes them Pablo Ugarte, General Director of Personal Systems of HP Iberia. This progression will be possible because the prices of these equipment will tend down. If at this time, the AI PCs usually exceed 1,000 euros of PVP, in the coming months and especially during next year The configurations below that price will be popularized.
The advantages of optimized PCs for AI
In the presentation of the new HP laptops optimized for artificial intelligence, Ugarte highlighted the advantages of these teams. Said, for example, that they provide higher response speed and lower latency in the work with the AI models that in case of consultations to solutions housed in the public cloud.
-In addition, he pointed out that they help Relieve the energy expenditure of data centers. He also stressed that companies and employees have greater control over the information they exchange with AI if they do it at home and from a PC, then They operate in more protected environments than those who use large models, such as chatgpt or gemini. And finally, he explained that an AI PC learns from the way it is used and ends up facilitating the management and administration of its components to the owner.
For its part, Melchor Sanz, HP Iberia sales ctohe insisted on the savings of costs that the companies that resort to the AI PCs will have to execute loads of artificial intelligence. In his opinion, cloud computing to move forward with this type of tasks is “limited, expensive and not very sustainable.” And that the solution consists in distributing that computing between personal computers and other devices, since HP, for example, is carrying the abilities of ia to printers or network equipment and collaboration. Sanz spoke of a new era in the workplace marked by the “Edge Ia” (artificial intelligence at the end).
HP’s proposal on AI PC
To take advantage of this business opportunity that opens around the AI PCs, HP has put in recent months several mid-high range teams (almost always portable) that incorporate processors from Intel, AMD o Qualcommdepending on the model. An example is the series teams HP ELITEBOOK 8designed for companies and that provide NPU options of up to 50 yield tops. There is also the series HP ELITEDESK 8which carries the possibilities of artificial intelligence to the scope of desktops. For its part, the workstation HP ZBook Ultra G1a It is provided with an AMD Ryzen processor with up to 16 nuclei.
In addition, HP complements its optimized PC for artificial intelligence with the tool You have companionwhich customizes the configuration of the machine based on the user’s needs, is Able to summarize complex documents in seconds and offers instantaneous responses, even without internet connection. In addition, from this spring, the Companion will have new functionalities, such as voice commands and protection against Keyloggers, among others.
