Today, we announced our new commercial portfolio with groundbreaking AI experiences for the modern workplace. Latitude has been fueling transformation for our customers for thirty years, and we will help you lead your industry in the AI era. Let’s dig deeper into what the AI PC means for the knowledge worker and how Latitude is innovating to deliver transformational AI experiences for our customers. 

With the introduction of Intel®️ Core™️ Ultra processors with Intel vPro®️ and the new integrated multi-processor package with central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and neural processing unit (NPU) a day in the life of a hybrid worker will be more productive, secure, and collaborative. AI workloads will be offloaded to the xPU, a versatile AI engine, depending on the application and use case. Imagine being able to talk real-time with someone who speaks a different language without any network dependency or delay. This future is here with applications like Omnibridge, which leverage on-device AI capabilities to deliver new collaboration features such as live English to American Sign Language translation. AI workloads, when offloaded to the xPU, improve overall device performance, and extend battery life. For example, combining the benefits of the NPU to offload capabilities like auto-framing, background blur and eye-tracking with the power efficiency of Intel Core Ultra processors, gives workers up to 38% more battery life and valuable working time in a day packed with Zoom calls.1

Intel®️ Core™️ Ultra is the first processor built on the Intel 4 process technology and represents the company’s largest architectural shift in 40 years. Intel Core Ultra will support 100+ Optimized AI Apps and over 300 AI-optimized experiences, powering the next wave of commercial uses, from collaboration tools and personal assistance to strengthened security. Embark upon your AI journey with the world’s most intelligent PCs delivering AI experiences across our entire Latitude line-up.
