Need proof? Here are five ways business AI PCs can help your company thrive. Strengthen endpoint security When any game-changing innovation arrives, security is always a primary concern. But embracing the influx of AI-powered applications does not mean that organizations must embrace more security and privacy risks. Business AI PCs on Intel® Core™ Ultra and Intel vPro® help reduce those vulnerabilities by running workloads directly on the device and keeping data local. This helps limit the amount of sensitive information that gets sent to the cloud, keeping your company and personal data within your network. Intel vPro® also delivers best-in-class hardware-based security, with AI-powered threat detection below the OS to help stop attacks before they start. Improve employee experience While organizations understand the benefits of AI, there is still a belief that expensive cloud infrastructure is required to reap its rewards. Or that a GPU alone is enough to handle the demands of AI. But that view is missing some important context. The increased compute power required for the AI applications of today means that while a GPU could run an AI program, the demand of that workload would likely make the rest of the PC unusable. And in today's modern workplace, users need to run their AI workloads while also joining virtual meetings, editing documents, and replying to pings and emails. That's where the magic of the Intel business AI PC really shines. With a hybrid architecture that offloads the right task to the right core at the right time, business PCs on Intel Core Ultra are able to balance workloads between the CPU, GPU, and NPU (neural processing unit), allowing employees to get the AI performance they need without sacrificing productivity or battery life. Enable AI for employees Over the next few years, AI will continue to evolve as employees discover innovative new use cases. But they'll also need PCs that can evolve with them. AI PCs aren't just powerful enough to handle today's demands — they'll be flexible enough to adapt to an ever-changing tech landscape in the years to come. Thanks to our industry-leading AI software ecosystem, the impact of Intel AI PCs will continue to grow. We aim to power over 100 million AI PCs by 2025, and we are working with over 100 ISVs to enable over 300 AI-accelerated software features throughout 2024. This means businesses can remain future-ready and confidently adopt emerging technologies as they continuously strive to innovate. Remotely manage PC fleets for hybrid workforces A well-maintained fleet is a must to maximize the many benefits of business AI PCs. However, organizations with remote and hybrid workforces can make that process challenging, and IT departments often find themselves stretched. Business AI PCs with remote management capabilities help IT pros work more efficiently and effectively. Powered by Intel vPro, these remote management capabilities make it easier to remotely patch, update, and remediate devices, even if they are powered off or out-of-band. This allows IT to proactively predict and prevent issues before they arise, helping to ensure that PC downtime is kept to a minimum and workforces can continue to leverage the benefits of AI. Lower costs In addition to delivering value through greater productivity and efficiency, business AI PCs help organizations save time, energy, and money. With the ability to run AI applications locally, AI PCs can reduce the need for costly cloud subscriptions, while built-in manageability tools can deliver improved IT performance that results in less time wasted. In its report, "The Total Economic Impact of Intel vPro as an Endpoint Standard," Forrester projects that AI PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and Intel vPro can help enterprise organizations save nearly $3 million over a three-year period. |
