“AI PCs,” meaning Windows machines (which likely require the machine to have hardware-controlled AIs), must have at least 16GB of RAM. Microsoft decided that.
New Surface only with at least 16GB RAM?
In other words: from now on, top Windows models will never have 8 GB of RAM, for which Apple is constantly criticized: the MacBook Pro 14, which costs NOK 23,990, only has 8 GB of RAM, which led to severe criticism from Tim Cooks has led a company that traditionally only has a sparse amount of RAM in all its products.
Oddly enough, it is TrendForce, an analytics agency, and not Microsoft, that announced the good news everyone was hoping for: “Microsoft has set the base for DRAM and AI PCs at 16 GB.” In the long term, TrendForce estimates that AI PCs will drive demand for PC DRAM bits and increase annually, with consumer trends continuing to drive this demand.” We hope and believe that the new Surface computers launching in the spring will all start with 16GB of RAM become. It is also optional whether and where the copilot key should be placed.
Another requirement for AI PCs is 40 TOPS with NPU power. Both Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, AMD Strix Point and Intel’s Lunar Lake chips have so much AI power to offer.
The difference between 8GB and 16GB of RAM is huge
