Chip designer has extended support for modest desktop CPUs, citing Intel setting expectations for cheap and not-so-speedy silicon
, Intel plans to add a “VPU” AI co-processor to all models of the “Meteor Lake” CPUs that might start to appear in late 2023. That would leave Intel with many more AI-ready desktop processors than AMD.Whether anyone has a reason to buy them remains moot. Galton said AMD is working with developers and vendors of vertical industry applications to help them add AI to their wares, but admitted the resulting products will also debut in 2024.
Galton said AMD hopes that once it has more AI-enabled processors for sale, it will suggest them as the ideal acquisition for outfits refreshing their PC fleets. The exec said AMD assumes many customers work on five-year PC refresh cycles and should therefore be open to the argument that they’ll start using desktop AI during the working life of their next PC fleet and will therefore be open to acquiring CPUs capable of handing off AI computation to dedicated circuitry.
“With a typical gaming monitor costing a little over $300, it presents a cost-effective way to improve user experience both in and out of gaming,” said Jay Chou, research manager for IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker. Gaming PCs cost far more than that, leading consumers to shop for cheaper upgrades such as monitors or second-hand computers.
