Intel has just announced a new initiative dubbed the AI PC Acceleration Program, which aims to provide resources to software and hardware vendors, enabling them to create AI-powered features that can utilize its upcoming Core Ultra mobile chips, code-named “Meteor Lake,” which have AI capabilities and are set to launch on December 14.
The processors are notably Intel’s first to come with an integrated AI accelerator, which Intel is calling neural processing unit (NPU). But an NPU is not reason enough to make people buy new computers; Intel needs to convince buyers that they need AI acceleration.
