It is funny that Microsoft had been peddling "AI PCs" and Apple had been peddling "made for Apple Intelligence" for a while now, when in fact usable models for consumer GPUs are only barely starting to be a thing on extremely high end GPUs like the 3090.

AI PCs aren't about running the kind of models that take a 3090-class GPU, or even running on GPU at all, but systems where the local end is running something like Phi-3.5-vision-instruct, on system RAM using a CPU with an integrated NPU, which is why the AI PC requirements specify an NPU, a certain amount of processing capacity, and a minimum amount of DDR5/LPDDR5 system RAM.
