On June 18, a new line of personal computers from Microsoft specifically designed to run artificial intelligence (AI) programs became available in many stores in the context of technology companies promoting applications. ChatGPT chatbot style AI is more widespread.
Last month, technology corporation Microsoft introduced these AI-integrated personal computers under the Copilot Plus brand.
This allows users to access AI features on its devices without relying on cloud computing services, thereby saving energy, time and simplifying AI experiences.
The Copilot Plus computer has a specialized neural processing unit (NPU) for sharper photo editing, along with the ability to transcribe, translate directly and the Recall feature helps remember and track all activities on the device. user’s device.
However, at the last minute before “launch”, Microsoft removed the Recall feature due to privacy concerns and will only provide this feature as a test.
Currently, new personal computers with integrated AI produced by HP and ASUS only run on the new Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processor lines from chip manufacturer Qualcomm.
– Apple stopped developing Vision Pro 2
When demand was lower than expected, Apple was said to have stopped developing the 2nd generation Vision Pro glasses to focus on low-cost models.
The Information’s source said that Apple has paused development of the 2nd generation Vision Pro to focus on the low-cost model, expected to launch in 2025.
Although the official price of the shortened Apple Vision is unknown, 9to5Mac believes that any figure lower than $3,500 could help the device compete better with rivals like Meta Quest.
Apple has begun researching low-cost Vision since 2022 with the code name “N109”. The target price is about 1,600 USD, equivalent to high-end iPhones and iPads.
– South Korea’s chip exports increased by more than 52%
South Korea’s chip exports in May increased 52.4% year-on-year to $11.39 billion due to higher global chip demand stemming from the growth of the artificial intelligence market.
Data recently released by the Ministry of Science and Information Technology (IT) of South Korea shows that the country’s export turnover of IT and communications products (ICT) has skyrocketed by more than 30% for the second consecutive month. in May due to strong global demand. By product, May’s chip exports increased 52.4% year-on-year to $11.39 billion due to higher global chip demand stemming from the growth of the artificial intelligence market and the recovery of the IT equipment market. This is the seventh consecutive month that chip export turnover increased by double digits.
According to data provided by the Ministry of Science and Information Technology, the export turnover of IT products in May reached 19.05 billion USD, an increase of 31.8% compared to 14.45 billion USD in the same period last year, marks the seventh consecutive monthly increase. Meanwhile, the country’s imports of IT products increased by 2.4% over the same period to 11.48 billion USD, leading to a trade surplus in this sector of 7.57 billion USD.
Specifically, memory chip exports increased 101% over the same period to 6.86 billion USD as the average price of 8 gigabit DRAM continued to increase to 2.1 USD in May, thanks to rapidly increasing demand for high-value products such as high-bandwidth memory. Overseas monitor sales rose 15.3% to $1.85 billion, a double-digit increase for the fourth straight month, driven by strong demand for televisions and personal computers.
