Analysis group Canalys published a report forecasting the future sales and deployment of AI-enabled PCs in a few years. Based on the fact that in 2024, 19% of PCs are AI-capable and already shipped worldwide, the group estimates a 60% growth in shipments by 2027 with its increased presence for commercial purposes.
The adoption will have a widespread effect on gaming, business, and consumer-level markets, paving the way for neural chip-embedded roadmaps from respective leading chipmakers. As many would expect, PCs supporting AI on hardware levels will also command a price hike between 10% and 15%. Since Windows 11 24H2 already has CPU and RAM requirements embedded in its coding, it will likely increase the demand for larger amounts of fast RAM, potentially increasing its pricing.
