The world of computing is entering a new era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just in the cloud—it’s in your PC. With the launch of Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI processors, we’re seeing a major shift in how devices handle intelligent workloads. These next-generation chips are designed to bring local inference—the ability to process AI tasks directly on your device—into mainstream computing.
Global PC leaders such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo are rapidly integrating these processors into their business laptops, ultrabooks, and workstations, enabling enterprises to adopt AI-ready endpoints without relying solely on cloud resources. This transformation is redefining what businesses can do with cloud services, cloud-based server solutions, and AI-driven performance right at the edge.
For years, most AI processing was done in the cloud. Every command, model, or algorithm ran remotely, relying on powerful cloud and server infrastructure. While efficient, this approach often introduced latency and privacy concerns.
Today, Intel and AMD are bridging that gap. Their latest processors are equipped with Neural Processing Units (NPUs)—dedicated AI engines that enable real-time, on-device inference. Laptops like the HP EliteBook Series, Dell Pro Series, and Lenovo ThinkPad Series now leverage these NPU which means users can enjoy faster performance, improved security, and reduced dependency on cloud storage for every task.
The Intel Core Ultra series integrates CPU, GPU, and NPU on a single chip, designed for balanced AI performance. With its deep learning acceleration, it handles workloads such as language modelling, video enhancement, and productivity automation—right on the device.
This hybrid capability is especially valuable when paired with enterprise ecosystems:
For enterprises using IT cloud solutions, the combination of local and remote AI processing provides the best of both worlds. Teams can run high-priority AI tasks locally, while larger workloads sync seamlessly with cloud-based servers like those powered by Dell Cloud Services, HPE hybrid cloud infrastructure, or Lenovo TruScale cloud infrastructure.
AMD’s Ryzen AI processors are engineered for creativity and efficiency. Their architecture optimises real-time content creation, video calls, and 3D rendering using machine learning algorithms without draining the cloud.
OEMs are embracing AMD’s AI capabilities across their product lines:
For IT teams deploying cloud-based storage and HPE servers, this local inference reduces bandwidth use and enhances endpoint performance. By distributing AI tasks intelligently, organisations achieve faster results while maintaining control of sensitive data.
Local inference represents a huge leap forward. By processing data at the endpoint—be it a Dell Pro series, HP Elitebook, HP ThinClients and Lenovo ThinkPad—businesses minimise latency and maximise responsiveness.
Companies that rely on cloud-based server solutions or storage cloud platforms can now offload smaller inference tasks locally. This frees up cloud resources for deep learning models or enterprise-level analytics, boosting efficiency across IT cloud services.
The future lies in hybrid environments. As more organisations embrace cloud IT solutions, integrating AI-ready hardware like Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen AI allows seamless synchronisation between devices and the cloud.
For example:
Together, they create a secure, high-performing ecosystem where AI flows intelligently between local and cloud layers.
These benefits are particularly valuable for industries like finance, healthcare, and media that handle high data sensitivity and performance demands.
The Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI processors are more than just hardware upgrades—they’re the foundation of a smarter, hybrid computing era. As organisations deploy AI-ready devices from HP, Dell, and Lenovo, and connect them with powerful cloud platforms like HPE Cloud, Dell Cloud Services, and hybrid storage solutions, the boundary between local intelligence and cloud capability continues to blur.
The future is already here—and it’s powered by AI that’s both local and cloud-smart.
No pressure. Just clarity.
