Pushing the boundaries of AI Performance through PC Innovation

Experts predict more than 70% of PCs manufactured and shipped globally will be AI-capable by 2028. Our recent CES 2025 showcase positions the Intel Core Ultra series as a cornerstone of that movement — and Intel as a leading architect of the evolving ecosystem necessary to drive it. Through strategic partnerships with OEMs, ISVs, and Microsoft, we’re demonstrating how our latest processors are enabling new form factors, enhancing security, and powering AI PC use cases and workloads that transform how IT and business end users interact with technology.?

Pushing the boundaries of AI performance?

With dramatic performance gains, enhanced efficiency, and robust security and manageability features, the recent launch of Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors with Intel vPro demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI performance and elevating PC experiences for businesses worldwide. Highlights include 400 new AI features, including CoPilot+, for productivity, creation, and communication. Simultaneously, Intel vPro raises the bar for IT excellence, empowering IT professionals with advanced tools for managing their fleets securely and efficiently.?

Meanwhile, Intel Core Ultra 200HX and H series processors are built for the next generation of creators and gamers. They’re equipped with Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores) to deliver breakthrough compute for challenging mobile workloads, while our Intel Arc graphics (with up to eight Intel Xe cores) feature Intel Xe Matrix Extensions for AI acceleration and enhanced gaming performance. These processors are delivering up to 41% better multi-thread performance compared to previous HX-series processors, and up to 22% better gaming performance compared to previous H-series processors. With breakthrough compute and graphics performance, efficiency, and AI capabilities, we’re enabling an immersive gaming experience backed by powerful AI acceleration.??

Transforming business productivity through collaboration

By partnering with leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) like Lenovo, Dell, and HP, we’re creating availability of the Intel vPro platform across a broad range of PCs and ensuring businesses’ accessibility to 30+ new commercial designs. For example, Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad X9 14” Aura Edition is a CoPilot+ PC that leverages the Core Ultra 200V series processors with industry-leading 100+ TOPs AI performance for power, efficiency, and productivity. HP leverages the Core Ultra 200V series processors in its new Elitebook series, which delivers robust xPU performance to help end users change the way they work with AI locally on their PCs.?

Similarly, our close collaboration with more than 200 Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) led to Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors with Intel vPro delivering more than 400 new AI features for customers. Each one represents a potential solution to help businesses, large or small, meet their unique needs. For example, Tableau — a visual analytics platform designed to help people better see, understand, and act on data — achieved up to 1.14x accelerated data analysis and visualization using AI features with the Core Ultra 200V series.?

Meanwhile, our partnership with Microsoft continues to advance AI-driven innovation with millions of devices per quarter for CoPilot+ PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors. CoPilot+ PCs offer exceptional performance, battery life, enhanced AI experiences, and security through the Microsoft Pluton security processor. Highlights include:?

• Up to 47% faster AI performance compared to the MacBook Air M3??
• More than 20 hours of local video playback?
• Up to 14 hours of web browsing?
• 62% drop in security incidents and 3x less firmware attacks with Windows 11?

Elevating IT operations with AI and security?

As millions of businesses transition to AI-enabled PCs, we developed the new Intel vPro platform that's built for business, and delivers the most robust security, advanced fleet provisioning, unmatched defense and manageability, premium connectivity, and exceptional stability for IT pros at companies of all sizes. In addition, our out-of-band diagnosis and remediation tools — including Intel Endpoint Cloud Services — allow IT staff to migrate to new technologies without interrupting business operations during the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.?

Intel continues to build for business innovation — and it’s working. For example, CDW customers have reported a dramatic reduction in downtime as Tier Two tech staffers can troubleshoot and execute tasks simply and efficiently with Intel vPro. Intel Endpoint Management Assistance (EMA) helped CrowdStrike remotely log into devices and address the headlining outage last year, minimizing user downtime and restoring productivity. Our engineers even worked with CrowdStrike to provide a refresher “how-to” guide on vPro.?

Through our hardware and strategic collaborations, Intel is helping architect the evolving ecosystem that’s transforming the PC as we know it today. We’re creating the solutions and accessibility to move business — and the world — forward.
