Behind the scenes, something’s going on with Intel PCs. They’re becoming smarter. Intel envisions a future where your PC will simply anticipate your habits and act accordingly. But it’s not clear when that future will arrive, how realistic that vision will be, or whether consumers will tolerate a computer that predicts your every move.
What we know is this: Intel’s building a future version of its tiny desktop PCs, the NUCs, with Amazon’s Alexa assistant built in. The Intel “Bean Canyon” NUC—Bean for “coffee bean,” or the “Coffee Lake” chip built inside of it—will arrive later this year. (Intel is currently working with Amazon to obtain certification.) Meanwhile, Intel is adapting its Movidius chips into “AI chips” that will power these intelligent, future experiences.
