And you see AI PC, it just means a computer that has some sort of silicon that accelerates AI.

Majority of the time, though, is about 95% means an NPU.

And we can get more into this, but an NPU is not a GPU.

And the two are not created equally.

The way that I think about it,

I'll go back to when I was taking the LSAT back in the day is all AI PCs or excuse me, all AI workstations or AI PCs, not all AI PCs or AI workstations.

And I'll break it down for you.

So I lead Dell Pro Max AI solutions at Dell.

So it is a workstation class system, meaning very high CPU compute, very high GPU compute, etc.,

So if you have an NVIDIA card in that, and that is the Pro, that's another distinction, not a gaming card, not a GeForce, not a 5090 or 4090 or whatever.

It is an RTX Pro Blackwell GPU.

That is an AI workstation, which is what your data scientists, AI developers, and most people typically that are developing AI are using.

Now there is an AI PC, which what I would say is an AI PC is for...

at home and a little bit of work for the traditional knowledge worker that has an NPU ranging from, you know, 13 tops up to 40, where you can offload some of that inference to the NPU for applications that you've installed on your computer.

Absolutely.

So a GPU is a graphical processing unit.

They've been in systems for a long time.

NVIDIA has been around for a long time.

If you have a PC for gaming, that is a GPU.

If you were into Bitcoin mining or any sort of cryptocurrency mining, you were also using a GPU.
