Intel's CEO expressed great optimism about the artificial intelligence PC industry, claiming that despite the increasingly fierce competition in this field, Intel will maintain its dominant position in the next few years. Recently, Intel held the "Intel Innovation Taipei 2023 Technology Forum". Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger attended the forum with executives from PC ecosystem partners such as ACER and Asus.

The focus of Intel's CEO speech was how the company will maintain its dominance in the coming years despite unexpected increases in competition in personal computers, especially AIPCs.

Recent news has revealed that NVIDIA and AMD are planning to launch ARM-based CPUs by 2025 in an attempt to subvert the monopoly of companies such as Intel and Apple. Not only does Intel face competition, but companies such as Qualcomm have also demonstrated their solutions for the PC industry, launching the Snapdragon X Elite SoC, which on paper seems to be a powerful weapon to enter the market. Intel thinks these developments are indeed shocking, but the company is confident in its product portfolio, claiming they are well ahead of its competitors in the market.

In addition, Intel also showed the way forward at the press conference. Pat Gelsinger claimed that artificial intelligence is the future of various technology fields, and various companies are working together to integrate artificial intelligence into the PC industry.

It is reported that Asus demonstrated an artificial intelligence PC at the conference and asked Intel CEO questions about the company's vision. This hints that AI-based assistants may actually become a reality in the PC industry, much like Apple's Siri integrated into our PCs, operating via voice and similar commands.

Finally, Pat Gelsinger revealed that Intel plans to ship 100 million "AIPCs" by 2025, which is a huge goal. While the company didn't reveal specific details about the AI ​​PC, it's just one way to incorporate the path of generative AI into the hardware stream, which will help change the way we use PCs. Intel has already laid the foundation for AI-focused PCs with Meteor Lake and dedicated VPUs in its upcoming lineup, and it plans to revolutionize the PC industry by actually translating the buzz generated by genAI into consumer products.
