Dell Technologies have announced their 2024 Latitude AI PCs is delivering groundbreaking AI experiences for the modern workplace.
The latest Latitude AI PCs gets the introduction of Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel vPro and the new integrated multi-processor package with central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and neural processing unit (NPU), allowing hybrid worker to be more productive, secure, and collaborative. The xPU, a versatile AI engine, will take care of the AI workloads depending on the application and use case. Imagine being able to talk real-time with someone who speaks a different language without any network dependency or delay. This future is here with applications like Omnibridge, which leverage on-device AI capabilities to deliver new collaboration features such as live English to American Sign Language translation. AI workloads, when offloaded to the xPU, improve overall device performance, and extend battery life. For example, combining the benefits of the NPU to offload capabilities like auto-framing, background blur and eye-tracking with the power efficiency of Intel Core Ultra processors, gives workers up to 38% more battery life and valuable working time in a day packed with Zoom calls.
Intel Core Ultra is the first processor built on the Intel 4 process technology and represents the company’s largest architectural shift in 40 years. Intel Core Ultra will support 100+ Optimized AI Apps and over 300 AI-optimised experiences, powering the next wave of commercial uses, from collaboration tools and personal assistance to strengthened security.
