A possible recovery of the PC market has been predicted by experts because of the introduction of AI PCs. According to the experts, consumers are looking forward to upgrade their systems with new capabilities and features. Introduction of generative Artificial Intelligence technology has paved the way to an increased demand for advanced semiconductors which in turn can be used to develop and run complex AI programs.
AMD faces an intense competition in the market for AI PCs from AI chip front- runner Nvidia which has been considered a leader for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Intel. The Ryzen 8000G series was introduced by AMD in January. The release was targeted towards the heavy workloads the come along with AI- based tasks.
