Microsoft calls 8GB PCs Tier 0, 16-64GB PCs Tier 1, and 128GB+ PCs Tier 2, with Tier 3 referring to dedicated AI "supercomputer" systems that can run frontier models locally. The roadmap indicates AI will remain a core aspect of future products from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm, with next-generation CPUs expected to continue featuring NPUs.
