I-AI, ngendlela enye okanye enye, ikulungele ukuphinda ichaze malunga nazo zonke iimveliso zetekhnoloji entsha, kodwa incam yomkhonto yiPC ye-AI. Inkcazo elula yePC ye-AI ingaba "nayiphi na ikhompyutha yomntu eyakhelweyo ukuxhasa usetyenziso lwe-AI kunye neempawu." Kodwa yazi: Zombini ligama lokuthengisa (iMicrosoft, Intel, kunye nabanye bayiphose ngokukhululekileyo) kunye nenkcazo ngokubanzi apho iiPC ziya khona.

Njengoko i-AI iguquka kwaye ibandakanya ngakumbi inkqubo yekhompyuter, umbono we-AI PC uya kuba yinto entsha kwiikhompyuter zobuqu, okukhokelela kutshintsho olukhulu kwihardware, isoftware, kwaye, ekugqibeleni, ukuqonda kwethu konke ukuba yintoni iPC kwaye yenzani. I-AI isebenza ngendlela yayo kwiikhompyuter eziqhelekileyo ithetha ukuba iPC yakho iya kuxela kwangaphambili imikhwa yakho, iphendule ngakumbi kwimisebenzi yakho yemihla ngemihla, kwaye ikwazi ukuziqhelanisa neqabane elingcono lomsebenzi kunye nokudlala. Isitshixo kuyo yonke into eya kuba kukusasazeka kwe-AI yasekhaya, ngokungafaniyo neenkonzo ze-AI ezinikezelwa kuphela kwilifu.

Yintoni iKhompyutha ye-AI? I-PC ye-AI ichaziwe

Ukubeka ngokulula: Nayiphi na ilaptop okanye idesktop eyakhelweyo ukuqhuba usetyenziso lwe-AI okanye iinkqubokwisixhobo, oko kukuthi, "kwindawo," yi-AI PC. Ngamanye amazwi, ngePC ye-AI, kuya kufuneka ukwazi ukuqhuba iinkonzo ze-AI ezifana ne-ChatGPT, phakathi kwabanye, ngaphandle kokufuna ukungena kwi-intanethi ukuze ungene kumandla e-AI efini. IiPC ze-AI ziya kuba nakho ukunika amandla uninzi lwabancedisi be-AI abenza uluhlu lwemisebenzi-ngasemva kunye nangaphambili-kumatshini wakho.

Kodwa ayisosiqingatha sayo eso. IiPC zanamhlanje, ezakhiwe nge-AI engqondweni, zinezixhobo ezahlukeneyo, isoftware elungisiweyo, kunye notshintsho kwi-BIOS yazo (i-firmware ye-motherboard yekhompyuter elawula imisebenzi esisiseko). Olu tshintsho luphambili lwahlula ilaptop okanye idesktop elungele i-AI yangoku kwiinkqubo ezithengiswe kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Ukuqonda lo mahluko kubalulekile njengoko singena kwixesha le-AI.

I-NPU: Ukuqonda i-Hardware ye-AI ezinikeleyo

Ngokungafaniyo neelaptops zemveli okanye iiPC zedesktop, iiPC ze-AI zinesilicon eyongezelelweyo yokusetyenzwa kwe-AI, ihlala yakhiwe ngokuthe ngqo kwiprosesa yokufa. Kwiinkqubo ze-AMD, Intel, kunye ne-Qualcomm, oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-neural processing unit, okanye i-NPU. I-Apple inezixhobo ezifanayo zehardware ezakhelwe kuyoIitshiphusi ze-M-seriesnge-Neural Engine yayo.

Kuzo zonke iimeko, i-NPU yakhelwe kulwakhiwo oludityanisiweyo kunye nolwenzelwe ukucofa imisebenzi emininzi ye-algorithmic ngaxeshanye kunee-CPU ezisemgangathweni. Iiprosesa eziqhelekileyo zisaphatha imisebenzi yesiqhelo kumatshini wakho-uthi, ukukhangela imihla ngemihla kunye nokusetyenzwa kwamagama. I-NPU eyakhiwe ngokwahlukileyo, okwangoku, inokukhulula i-CPU kunye ne-silicon ye-graphics-acceleration ukwenza imisebenzi yabo yosuku ngelixa iphethe izinto ze-AI.

I-TOPS kunye ne-AI yokuSebenza: Ithetha ntoni, kutheni ibalulekile

Umlinganiselo omnye ulawula iincoko zangoku malunga nesakhono se-AI: iitriliyoni zokusebenza ngomzuzwana, okanye i-TOPS. I-TOPS ilinganisa inani eliphezulu le-8-bit integer (INT8) imisebenzi yemathematika itshiphu enokuyenza, iguqulela kwi-AI inference performance. Olu lunye uhlobo lwezibalo ezisetyenziselwa ukucubungula imisebenzi ye-AI kunye nemisebenzi.

Ukusuka kwiSilicon ukuya kubukrelekrele: Indima yesoftware yePC yeAI

Ukusetyenzwa kweNeural sisithako esinye kuphela kwinto eyenza iPC ye-AI yangoku: Udinga isoftware ye-AI ukuze uthathe ithuba lehardware. Isoftware iye yaba yeyona ndawo iphambili yedabi kwiinkampani ezifuna ukuchaza iPC ye-AI ngokweempawu zazo.

Njengoko izixhobo ze-AI kunye nezixhobo ze-AI zixhaphake kakhulu, ziphakamisa zonke iintlobo zemibuzo efuna ukuqwalaselwa ngononophelo. Iinkxalabo zexesha elide malunga nokhuseleko, iinqobo zokuziphatha, kunye nobumfihlo bedatha bukhula kakhulu kunangaphambili njengoko izixhobo zethu zisiba krelekrele kwaye izixhobo zethu zinamandla ngakumbi. Iinkxalabo zexesha elifutshane malunga nokufikeleleka zivela, nazo, njengoko iimpawu ze-AI zenza iiPC zeprimiyamu ezininzi kunye nokubhaliselwa kwezixhobo ezahlukeneyo ze-AI ziqokelelana. Olona ncedo lwezixhobo ze-AI luza kujongwa njengoko ileyibhile ye-"AI PC" iphela kwaye iba yinxalenye yokuqonda kwethu ukuba zeziphi iikhompyuter zobuqu kunye nokwenza.
