Intel has officially announced an expansion of its AI PC Developer Program, aiming to engage more software and hardware developers in the AI PC market. The initiative includes the launch of AI PC Acceleration Programs and Core Ultra Meteor Lake NUC developer kits, unveiled at an AI conference. Intel's strategy seems to focus on convincing developers that its Core Ultra platform is the premier choice for AI chips, potentially positioning Intel as a leader in the AI PC domain. This expansion targets smaller code shops and independent software vendors, providing them with resources to create applications for AI PCs. Intel plans to introduce over 300 AI features throughout 2024. In related news, Lenovo has launched a new lineup of AI PCs, including models powered by Intel Core Ultra chips, such as the Yoga, Legion, and LOQ laptops, equipped with AI Copilot. However, some laptops like Asus’ new ROG Zephyrus, despite having Intel’s new Core Ultra chips, do not meet Microsoft's strict AI PC criteria due to the absence of a Copilot key, though they are still considered AI PCs by Intel. Intel confirms that next-gen AI PCs require 40 TOPS of NPU performance and that Microsoft Copilot will soon run locally on PCs.

"This requirement means that some laptops, like Asus’ new ROG Zephyrus, have already shipped with Intel’s new Core Ultra chips and aren’t technically AI PCs in the eyes of Microsoft’s strict requirements because they don’t have a Copilot key. They’re still AI PCs in Intel’s eyes" https://t.co/eIvIz7uctT
