About this episode

Jennifer Larson from Intel discusses the future of AI-powered workstations and the evolving demands of commercial computing.

AI isn't just transforming the software stack — it's reshaping the very machines powering modern business. Jennifer Larson, General Manager of Commercial Client Segments at Intel, breaks down why the distinction between workstations and high-end desktops matters more than ever, and how Intel is engineering platforms designed for creators, engineers, and enterprise users navigating increasingly complex workloads. The conversation explores the rise of small language models, on-device inference, and local AI — technologies that promise new levels of performance, privacy, and productivity right at the edge. Larson also sheds light on how Intel defines performance in an AI-driven world, how evolving security demands are influencing hardware strategy, and the priorities CIOs and CTOs should keep top of mind as 2025 approaches. Packed with insight and foresight, this discussion offers a grounded look at where commercial computing is headed next. #AIPC #AIWorkstation #CommercialPCs #On-DeviceAI #EdgeComputing #IntelAI #LocalAI #AI Productivity
