Dublin, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "AI PC Market by Product (Desktops & Notebooks, Workstations), Operating System (Windows, macOS, Chrome), Compute Type (GPU, NPU <40 TOPs, 40-60 TOPS), Compute Architecture (X86, ARM), Price (<USD 1,200, USD 1,200 and Above) - Global Forecast to 2031" report has been added to offering.

The global AI PC market is expected to grow from USD 91.23 billion in 2025 to USD 260.43 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 19.1%

The x86 compute architecture contributes the largest share of the AI PC market as it has dominated personal computing for many years. In addition, it has widespread software compatibility and continues to improve performance. Intel and AMD developed x86 processors that power most desktop and notebook PCs globally, making them the default architecture for most AI PC deployments. Their mature platform supports operating systems, software packages, and developer tools.

Moreover, recent developments in x86 architecture, such as integrating AI accelerators, improved multi-core performance, and upgraded power efficiency, enable these processors to host increasing AI workloads. This makes x86-based PCs compatible with consumer and enterprise usage scenarios, including real-time collaboration, creative applications, and business productivity. With leading PC makers still depending on x86 processors from Intel and AMD, and with these companies heavily investing in AI-optimized CPUs, the architecture is expected to continue leading the AI PC market.

The NPU compute type is set to grow rapidly in the AI PC market, as NPUs are optimized for processing neural networks, enabling faster and more energy-efficient execution of AI tasks such as speech recognition and face authentication. With the rising demand for low-power AI accelerators, companies such as Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD are integrating NPUs into their chipsets for on-device AI processing, enhancing response times, data privacy, and user experiences. Operating systems such as Windows and macOS are being optimized to leverage NPUs for features such as smart search and system performance improvements, making NPUs the standard in AI PCs.

The US is expected to capture the largest market share of the AI PC market in North America due to its leadership in technological innovation, presence of major tech firms such as Apple, Intel, and NVIDIA, and early adoption of AI solutions across industries. The strong infrastructure and consumer demand for advanced computing have driven the adoption of AI devices. US enterprises prioritize digital transformation by investing in AI PCs to boost productivity and enhance data security. Additionally, government support through funding and partnerships further strengthens the country's commitment to AI research and innovation, solidifying its position as a global leader in the AI PC market.
