The era of smart computers will begin in 2024. This date will mark the beginning of a large wave of computers equipped with specialized AI hardwareand we will also see the arrival of new solutions at the software level, such as new tools and virtual assistants powered by artificial intelligence, such as Microsoft Copiltot.

Even if the big turning point is 2024, the truth is that the big players in the PC world They were already playing cards lest the train of artificial intelligence depart. Intel was without a doubt one of those who made the biggest effort at the hardware level with Meteor Lake, the generation of processors that will have NPUs for AI acceleration, and other giants like AMD or Qualcomm were not left behind. be behind you.

This combination of new hardware and new software will be a true revolution in smart computing, but it will also add more confusion to choosing a new computer, a problem Microsoft is already preparing for. According to new information the Redmond giant will use stickers to mark and differentiate smart computersalthough it will be more than just a simple label.

The information will ensure that this sticker will include a link to the smart computer and also an indication of your performance with AI. In theory, Microsoft will use a metric based on performance measured in TOPS to performance scores which every team working with artificial intelligence is able to offer. This score will make things a little easier for consumers, as they will be able to more easily differentiate between the performance that the computers they are considering buying would be able to offer.

It certainly sounds familiar to you, and it’s normal because Intel already used something similar to differentiate the performance of its processors across a star system where 5 was the maximum and 1 was the minimum. So the Celeron got one star, the Core 2 Quad Q6000 got three stars, and the Core 2 Quad QX and Core i7 got five stars.

I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea by Microsoft to implement this rating and differentiation system for smart computers, if used correctly and clearlybecause it could greatly help consumers, especially those with less knowledge, as well as those who, even if they have some basics, are not invested in the world of AI.
