The Future of AI is Hybrid: TECHnalysis Research Survey Report

Everyone knows that AI is reshaping the very foundations of enterprise computing.

Toss in the fact that Intel just released the commercial vPro versions of its new Core Ultra Series 3 (code named Panther Lake) processors and, well, you have the perfect storm to generate news on business PCs. Or, in HP’s case, a nicely timed opportunity to debut a wide range of commercial PCs, notebooks, software and services and talk about the role they play in the Future of Work. And that’s exactly what the company did at their annual HP Imagine event...
