Microsoft has unveiled a new breed of Windows computers, known as Copilot Plus PCs, designed to offer advanced intelligence through a specialized NPU chip and new AI software. These enhancements enable these computers to perform complex tasks locally without relying on internet connectivity.

Takeaways

  • On-Device Processing: The NPU (Neural Processing Unit) allows for facial and image recognition directly on the device, eliminating the need for cloud-based processing.
  • Semantic Search with Recall: Enables users to find files and documents based on their meaning rather than just keywords.
  • AI-Generated Art with Co-creator: Allows users to create images from text prompts using a generative AI model.
  • Local Live Translation: Capable of translating live video calls and in-person conversations from 44 different languages into English.
  • High Performance: Copilot Plus PCs feature Intel Core Ultra processors, offering up to 1.5 times faster graphics performance and 21% faster multitasking compared to previous models
  • ARM-Based Architecture: These PCs are designed to work efficiently on ARM architecture, providing enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
  • Long Battery Life: The autonomy of these devices supports extensive use, making them ideal for both personal and professional settings.
