Nvidia says newly announced RTX AI PC laptops from Asus and MSI will have up to GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs and “systems-on-a-chip with Windows 11 AI PC capabilities” 拆封筆電

Nvidia confirmed to The Verge in a briefing that these laptops will come with AMD’s latest Strix CPUs.AMD hasn’t officially detailed its AMD Strix laptop CPUs yet, which it will undoubtedly announce during its own keynote later today. Nvidia has also dropped a hint that the first AMD-powered Copilot Plus PCs might not get Microsoft’s round of AI features at launch, though.Nvidia’s RTX AI laptops with Copilot Plus features are coming soon.

That suggests that Microsoft might not be ready to launch Recall and the other AI-powered Windows features on AMD chips, or that there could be some period of exclusivity for the Windows on Arm Qualcomm-powered hardware that launches on June 18th. Either way, we’ve reached out to Nvidia to clarify what its brief mention of this free update means.Nvidia is also in a battle of sorts to remain relevant for AI-powered tasks on laptops. While Microsoft is pushing ahead with offloading AI models to NPUs, Nvidia is gearing up to make its GPUs useful in this AI battleground on PC. Nvidia is leaning hard into its branding of “RTX AI laptops,” noting that its GPUs are more capable of running heavier AI workloads than an NPU.The RTX AI Toolkit arrives in June. Image: NvidiaIt’s even launching an RTX AI Toolkit in June that includes tools and SDKs for model customization, optimization, and deployment. These tools will take something like Meta’s Llama 2 model and optimize it to run with far less VRAM requirements and with more performance. Nvidia is also collaborating with Microsoft on the underlying AI models that are being built into Windows 11. “The collaboration will provide application developers with easy application programming interface (API) access to GPU-accelerated small language models (SLMs) that enable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities that run on-device powered by Windows Copilot Runtime,” says Nvidia.Microsoft announced its Windows Copilot Runtime at Build last month, and Nvidia says its work to accelerate AI models using RTX GPUs will be released in developer preview later this year. Microsoft’s Windows Copilot Runtime is designed to make it easy for developers to add AI-powered features to their apps, all while relying on NPU hardware to accelerate those features, or GPUs from Nvidia soon.Since NPUs are currently at the ~40 TOPS performance mark and Nvidia’s PC GPUs can handle more than 1,000 TOPS for AI acceleration, there are clearly some big differences in performance for developers to think about here. NPUs are designed for smaller models and important high power efficiency in laptops, but GPUs can do a good job handling larger models with higher performance in PC desktops where battery life isn’t relevant.It’s going to be interesting to watch this AI battle on PC shakeout, especially as Microsoft holds the keys to lighting up these experiences natively in Windows for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, and its many OEM partners.CommentsMost PopularMost PopularGoogle Maps’ enhanced navigation will make sure you’re in the right laneThe Amazon Echo graveyardOpenAI’s search engine

為迎接今(4)日開跑的COMPUTEX台北電腦展,華碩昨日舉辦新品發表會,除了有最新的AI PC陣容,也一次公開多款ROG電競新品,包括電競掌機、電競耳機、電競鍵盤等,展現積極拓展市場的強大企圖心。

AI PC浪潮來襲,華碩帶來多款新筆電,預計6月底到貨的Vivobook S 15,將是旗下首款Copilot+ PC筆電,能夠解鎖多項Windows 11獨家AI功能。華碩也預告帶來瞄準創作者的拆封筆電asus ProArt系列,將搭載AMD Ryzen AI 300系列處理器及NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070顯示卡,擁有超過300 TOPS的AI算力。

拆封筆電拆封筆電asus ProArt系列主要是鎖定影像工作者,特別強調螢幕色彩的精準度。上市時間、價格待原廠公布。

在掌機部分,華碩ROG Ally X除了加入比前代大一倍的80 Wh電池,機身握把處也變得更圓潤,並以符合人體工學的設計重新調整按鍵、搖桿排列,讓遊戲手感再升級。內建RAM則增加至24GB,強化遊戲順暢度,還有1TB的SSD儲存空間,讓玩家能將更多遊戲帶出門。

拆封筆電ROG Ally X除了改善手把處設計,也將背部的自訂按鍵縮小,降低誤觸機率。即日起開放預購,預計7月上市,售價25,999元。
