On July 12, the Bilibili World 2024 event opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, attracting ACG (Anime, Comic, Game) fans from across China who traveled to Shanghai to become part of the Chinese streaming platform’s annual celebration. 

The three-day event this year featured over 700 exhibitors and 800 ACG-content creators. The Lenovo booth showcased two new AI products: the YOGA Air 14c AI PC and the Legion Y9000P AI PC.

Why it matters: Bilibili World 2024 draws in ACG fans to celebrate shared interests, which meant the AI-powered Lenovo PCs garnered significant attention.

Details: The Lenovo YOGA Air 14c AI PC is designed for work, while the Lenovo Legion Y9000P AI PC is principally marketed to gamers. 

“In the current wave of AI development, computers are gradually evolving into personal assistant roles. As a leading enterprise in the PC industry, Lenovo will continue to maintain its leadership in this new era,” said Li Weichang, Vice President and General Manager of Lenovo China’s Consumer PC and Tablet Business, at the booth during the event.

Li said an advanced AI PC should have five features: an embedded personal intelligent agent for natural interaction, a built-in knowledge base, combined CPU+GPU+NPU AI processing power, an open AI application ecosystem, and protection for personal privacy and data security.

The Lenovo YOGA Air 14c AI laptop is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, featuring an advanced 6+8+2 core thread configuration, with a maximum frequency of up to 4.8GHz. The AI model offers up to 32GB RAM and 1TB storage.

The YOGA Air 14c AI PC integrates an intelligent agent, Lenovo Xiaotian, powered by the firm’s self-developed Tianxi large language model. Lenovo Xiaotian is able to learn user habits and preferences at work and while engaged in entertainment. The AI assistant is then able to offer practical functionalities including AI-powered PowerPoint production, document summarizing, voice cloning, and painting.

The flagship Y9000P AI features Intel’s i9-14900HX processor and Nvidia’s RTX 4090 graphics card, supporting direct GPU connection technology with a maximum power consumption reaching up to 250W. In terms of display, the flagship model provides a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution 240Hz screen for a detailed gaming experience.

The Legion Y9000P AI laptop is also equipped with Lenovo Xiaotian, which interacts with users in various scenarios including document summarizing, research question answering, and AI performance tuning.

Context: Held since 2017, Bilibili World is a community-focused annual large-scale in-person event organized by Bilibili, a leading Chinese video-sharing website. On June 29, the first round of the ACG event’s ticket sales saw 27,000 VIP tickets sell out within 30 seconds, with 100,000 general admission tickets gone within one minute, according to the company’s own app.

Intel’s China District Technical Director, Gao Yu, attended the event and introduced the Intel Core Ultra processor, integrating three types of computational engines — CPU, GPU, and NPU (collectively known as XPU) — for various AI tasks. Yu hinted at an upcoming next-generation AI PC processor based on the Lunar Lake architecture, promising even more powerful AI functionalities.
