It will take time for AMD CFO:AI applications to hit the ground, driving PC sales growth as early as 2025.

CTOnews.com December 12 news, AMD chief financial officer Jean Hu (Hu Jin) recently attended a Barclays (Barclays) meeting, admitted that AI accelerated processors will not drive PC sales growth until 2025 at the earliest.

Hu Jin's views from CTOnews.com translator are as follows:

There are still many macroeconomic uncertainties in 2024, but it is certain that the PC market continues to release good news, indicating that the market as a whole is stabilizing.

As more and more AI can be done on local devices, PC AI (AI PC) is bound to be an exciting experience.

But I don't think this growth will happen in 2024, but PC AI will promote PC AI upgrades in 2025, simplifying the PC replacement cycle.

Citing IDC's forecast, Hu Jin believes that the growth of the PC market will remain in single digits next year, basically the same as in 2023.

Su Zifeng, chief executive of AAMD, said in a report released in October that sales in the PC market would reach 250 million to 255 million units by the end of this year.

Intel boss Patrick Kissinger (Patrick Gelsinger) is more optimistic, calling for a target of selling 270 million computers this year. In addition, he expects the number to reach 300m PC next year, an increase of about 10 per cent.
