LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - PC and microchip companies struggling to get consumers to replace pandemic-era laptops offered a new feature to crowds this week at CES: artificial intelligence (AI).
PC and chipmakers including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel are betting that the so-called "neural processing units" (NPUs) now found in the latest chip designs will encourage consumers to once again pay for higher-end laptops. Adding additional AI capabilities could help take market share from Apple.
