Dell makes AI real with light and powerful AI PCs - SiliconANGLE
Dell bets big on AI PCs to drive the next era of edge and inferencing Artificial intelligence has enjoyed a long novelty phase, but as that hype wanes, the next era -- driven by innovations such as AI PCs -- will predominantly focus on actualizing real-world utility. There's a scramble to make AI real for companies, countries and individuals by driving an expanding set of cutting-edge use cases -- and Dell Technologies Inc. has doubled down on AI PCs as a key to solving the problem. "Our announcements this week are focused on that next stage of where we see AI going, which is inferencing and edge," said Jon Siegal (pictured), senior vice president of Dell portfolio marketing. "What does edge need? It needs devices to run, and that's where our AI PCs come in. We made a number of announcements around having a complete portfolio for our customers around AI PCs that we're proud of -- and one that we think will fit all the needs out there." Siegal spoke with theCUBE Research's Savannah Peterson for the Dell Bets Big on AI PCs at CES 2025 event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed Dell's mission to lead in the AI PC era by delivering practical, scalable and sustainable solutions that enhance both personal and professional experiences. (* Disclosure below.) The general industry consensus has highlighted inferencing technology as pivotal to practicalizing everyday AI use. In response, Dell's AI PCs enable cutting-edge workloads to run on-device, reducing reliance on cloud resources. These devices also challenge the stereotype that advanced computing must compromise design by being lightweight, energy-efficient and long-lasting -- all while delivering robust AI capabilities. Key innovations include the integration of CPUs, GPUs and NPUs, which optimize task delegation and power usage, according to Siegal. "They're beautiful, they're powerful, they're energy-efficient and more intelligent," he said. "They have an amazing battery life, by the way. These are much better PCs. Without even accounting for AI, it's a much better experience for our customers. It's faster; it's easier. Again, energy efficient, runs cooler and is lighter. These are all things that I don't think people necessarily associate with the AI PC." Localized access to cutting-edge AI capabilities in a portable computing environment opens up new possibilities. One example is real-time translation for humanitarian missions in remote locations, where connectivity is limited. For professionals, AI PCs serve as productivity advisors, enabling tasks such as localized data querying for sales pitches, according to Siegal. Dell recognizes the cognitive and logistical barriers businesses face in deploying AI applications. The recently launched Dell Pro AI Studio simplifies the process, reducing development time by 75%, according to Dell. Through partnerships with platforms such as Hugging Face, Dell helps enterprises choose the right models and optimize them for their hardware, Siegal added. "Part of the focus of this studio is to help SIs, ISVs and our enterprise customers figure out how to best build and develop and ultimately operate AI workloads or AI applications on the device," he said. "That involves models, of course. There's not a week that goes by that there's not another new model. So, oftentimes, the process of trying to build an AI application is overwhelming. It can take months to just research which model to use." Dell Pro AI Studio tackles the complexity of AI application development by streamlining the process from model selection to deployment. By enabling applications to be written once and run across various hardware options -- such as from AMD, Qualcomm and Intel -- Dell simplifies the process and eliminates repetitive development tasks. This approach reduces deployment timelines from six months to just six weeks, accelerating time-to-value and making AI adoption more accessible for enterprise customers, according to Siegal. Here's the complete video interview, part of SiliconANGLE's and theCUBE Research's coverage of the Dell Bets Big on AI PCs at CES 2025 event:

The AI PC era: Dell brings models to the edge - SiliconANGLE
Dell brings AI models to customers' edge devices, driving the era of AI PCs Artificial intelligence is going to get more personalized, accessible and close-to-home with the rise of the AI personal computer, or AI PC. Dell Technologies Inc.'s strategy is to help companies bring models to edge devices, while deploying at scale. The ultimate goal is a holistic AI system where customers can have the models they need, wherever they need them. "We've gone all in on AI; we're putting it into our devices," said Sam Burd (pictured), president of the Client Solutions Group at Dell. "It's basically accelerators that are sitting next to the CPU, so you can think about that as enabling the apps that we use every day to be more intelligent. Then for our commercial customers, the most exciting piece to me is they're going to be able to take their data generated at the edge on their devices, their PCs and run their AI models on those devices." Burd spoke with theCUBE Research's Savannah Peterson for the Dell Bets Big on AI PCs at CES 2025 event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's livestreaming studio. They discussed how Dell is spearheading the AI PC era. (* Disclosure below.) Dell has had AI on their PCs for a long time, but now it is even more fully integrated into their devices, according to Burd. These include the Pro monitor for professional grade products, Dell Pro Max, which offers maximum performance, and Alienware Area 51 gaming PCs. "We have this age-old debate of the cart before the horse, software before hardware," Burd said. "We're enabling it in our hardware. We are really leaned in on having the best stuff for our customers, and you're seeing the software in the ISV community start to really take advantage of that in their applications." Dell has also invested in cooling technology, which puts more power into their CPUs while producing less sound. Neural processing units -- specialized hardware designed for AI -- can save companies time and energy across their entire business, Burd explained. "We're in the corporate environment, and there's a lot of security apps running in that space," he said. "When you can run them on the NPU, you can do more and you don't impact battery life and system performance, so that really matters to the users. Same thing in creativity applications ... things like background blur and other things in collaboration apps to drawing and rendering." High-powered products for creative work tend to have a faster life cycle, and having different life cycles for different groups of products is only natural, Burd noted. The Dell AI Pro Studio is designed to give companies the tools to deploy AI models on their devices at a massive or smaller, specialized scale. "The PC is the ultimate place for you, I and others to have agents running that are helping us in our lives," he said. "We're trying to make it easy for our customers to put their models on devices, and then I think it's anyone's guess is as good as mine, but we've seen AI move so quickly ... we're enabling it with our technology for customers on systems that'll be shipping next year."

Dell overhauls brand portfolio and adds NPU-equipped portables and desktops - SiliconANGLE
Dell overhauls brand portfolio and adds NPU-equipped portables and desktops Dell Technologies Inc. is using the CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas today to announce a broad streamlining of its brand portfolio and new personal computers and monitors addressing uses ranging from schoolwork to artificial intelligence development to high-end design. The company also said it's expanding its relationship with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to include the chip maker's Ryzen Pro AI processors across its product line. The simplified product lineup does away with the existing Inspiron, XPS, G Series, Vostro, Latitude, OptiPlex and Precision brands in favor of three aimed at different categories of use. The Alienware line of gaming machines will retain its current brand identity. The basic Dell brand targets low-end applications such as school and office work. The Dell Pro line has advanced management features for enterprise use and portability. The Dell Pro Max series is aimed at performance-intensive tasks like AI training and computer-aided design. Each series includes accompanying displays, accessories and services for the target use case. "We went from eight different sub-brands with mostly made-up words to very descriptive words anchored around making it clear which product would be best for the use case of the customer," said Kevin Terwilliger, general manager of commercial, consumer and gaming PCs. "The [previous] tiers were very complicated. We believe moving to this new structure will help customers find the right product." Executives cited Accenture plc research that found that as many as three-quarters of buyers walk away from purchases because they are overwhelmed by information. "Our research told us that customers prefer names that are easy to remember and easy to pronounce," said Jeff Clarke, Dell's chief operating officer. "Does anybody know what an Inspiron or an OptiPlex is?" In line with the rebranding, Dell is also announcing new desktop and portable models in its AI PC lineup. The Dell Pro models offer the option of Intel Corp.'s Core Ultra (Series 2) and AMD Ryzen processors, both of which feature an integrated neural processing unit and graphics processing unit as well as a CPU. An NPU is a specialized hardware accelerator designed for AI and machine learning tasks. Executives said the company is going all in on AI PCs, believing them to be no less revolutionary than PCs were more than 40 years ago. "Ninety percent of the generative AI opportunity by the end of the decade will be in inference, or using AI to do real things," Clarke said. "Fifty percent of the world's data is created at the network's edge. New workloads like local summarization, content, creation, real-time translation, voice and AI-assisted code development are all going to run on the PC." To back up that commitment, Dell is expanding its AI Factory with an AI toolkit focused on NPU technology. Dell Pro AI Studio is a collection of Dell-validated tools, frameworks, templates and models that developers and IT administrators can use to build and manage AI software on any type of underlying hardware. "We believe we can reduce development to deployment time by as much as 75% from six months down to just six weeks," Terwilliger said. For enterprises, the new Dell Pro 13/14/16 Plus models come in a variety of form factors, all with the same system BIOS to simplify ordering and management. The Dell Pro 13/14 Premium is a lightweight laptop aimed at travelers who need high-performance and portability. Available in 13- and 14-inch display sizes, the units weigh as little as 2.36 pounds, with about a pound lighter than their predecessors in the Latitude series. Dell said they deliver up to 21 hours of battery life -- about 65% more than earlier models -- along with 36% faster performance on multithreaded tasks, 19% faster on single-threaded tasks and 82% faster rendering graphics. They're also said to be the quietest commercial laptop the company has ever produced thanks to a dual fan thermal design. The Pro 14 Premium will be the first commercial notebook with a Tandem organic light-emitting diode display, a technology that uses multiple layers of OLED emitting units to enhance brightness, efficiency, lifespan and performance. Dell said Tandem OLED is 24% more power-efficient and 49% lighter than traditional OLED displays while delivering more vivid colors. Connectivity features include built-in 5G and Wi-Fi 7 along with a modular and more durable USB-C port. The Pro Max 14 and 16 (pictured adjacent) laptops are for workloads that demand high performance and portability. They offer up to 16 inches of display space with Quad High Definition Plus, a display resolution that exceeds the standard 2560 x 1440 resolution of standard QDH displays. They optionally support Nvidia Corp. RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPUs, which are optimized for AI inferencing. New Dell Pro Desktops are available in micro, slim and tower forms, all with Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen processor options and the choice of Nvidia RTX and AMD GPUs. Dell said they're also its first commercial desktops to come with integrated NPUs. "The next generation of apps are being rewritten to use the NPU inside these machines," said Dell Chief Executive Michael Dell. "It's going to change the way work is done." Dell is also introducing two new monitor lines. The UltraSharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors use enhanced In-Plane Switching Black technology, which provides better contrast ratios and deeper black levels than conventional IPS panels. They feature an 120-hertz refresh rate, which reduces eye strain and automatic adjustment of brightness and color temperature to minimize glare. The 32 Plus 4K Quantum dot organic light-emitting diode features what Dell called AI-enhanced 3D spatial sound. "The sound from the built-in speakers remains precisely aligned with your position, so whether you lean forward, backward or left and right, you have a consistent soundscape around you," said Yoon Lee, vice president of displays in Dell's software and peripherals product group. Lee said the built-in speaker array uses beam-forming technology to direct the audio toward each ear along with "disruptive interference" to cancel out the sound at the opposite ear. "These combine to provide a crystal-clear sound quality that you have to hear to believe," she said.
