TIME — What many people still underestimate is that the hardware inside your device will matter more, not less, and their current devices were not designed for agentic AI and its evolution.
Today’s smartphones, PCs, vehicles, smart wearables, and more were built for a world centered on apps and human-directed interaction. Now, agents also need to operate efficiently on your device. They must run continuously in the background, fuse sensor data into context, and orchestrate multi-step tasks reliably and securely.
This requires strong CPU performance for orchestration, power-efficient NPUs for local models, and greater contextual awareness and efficiency—all while preserving responsiveness and battery life. These demands will drive an upgrade cycle across silicon and software, spanning device categories.
