Introduction to Copilot + PCs

Microsoft is revolutionising the PC market with the new Copilot+ PCs. These devices offer over 40 TOPS of performance, all-day battery life and ground-breaking AI features such as Recall, Cocreator and Live Captions. Experience the future of AI-driven computing from 18 June.

You're in for a treat, because today we've got a whole load of highly interesting AI news for you: Microsoft has unveiled a revolutionary category of Windows PCs at the new Campus: Copilot+ PCs. These devices have been specially developed for artificial intelligence and set completely new standards in terms of speed and intelligence.

The fastest and most intelligent in their class

Microsoft is setting a new standard for Windows PCs: Copilot+ PCs are pioneering a new era of Windows innovation that seamlessly integrates cloud and device AI: Copilot+ PCs offer unprecedented performance with more than 40 trillion compute operations per second (TOPS), a full day's battery life and access to the latest AI models.

Elegant and powerful

The new PCs are slim, light and aesthetically pleasing and will be offered by Microsoft Surface and partners such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung. Pre-orders are possible from today and the devices will be available from 18 June at prices starting at 999 US dollars.

New system architecture for maximum performance

The Copilot+ PCs combine CPU, GPU and a new high-performance NPU (Neural Processing Unit*) to maximise performance. With support for large and small language models in the Azure Cloud, they achieve up to 20 times more performance and 100 times more efficiency in AI workloads compared to previous generations.

A Neural Processing Unit (NPU) is a specialised hardware module designed to run artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms more efficiently and faster than conventional processors.

Native Arm64 experience

With Qualcomm chips, these PCs offer the best implementation of apps on the fastest chip. Microsoft 365 apps and other popular apps such as Chrome, Spotify, Zoom and Adobe Creative Cloud run natively on Arm and offer users outstanding performance.

Security and data protection

Every Copilot+ PC is equipped with the Microsoft Pluton security processor to ensure the highest security standards. New functions in Windows 11 enable personalised data protection settings so that users can optimally protect their privacy.

Innovative AI experiences

Artificial intelligence is revolutionising our lives with innovative technologies such as Recall, Cocreator and Live Captions, which improve our communication, creativity and privacy. These tools organise data locally, create high-quality images and translate audio in real time.

Recall - The digital memory: Recall helps you find content quickly by organising and storing information on your PC based on individual experiences. The data remains local and under your control, so your privacy is protected.
Cocreator - Creativity redefined: With Cocreator, images can be created and refined almost in real time. Integrated into applications such as Paint and Photos, diffusion-based algorithms utilise the performance of the NPUs for the highest quality.
Live Captions - Unlimited communication: Live Captions translates audio into English subtitles in real time, making it easier to communicate and understand across language barriers. This function is available offline and ensures that your words are always understood correctly.

Collaboration with top apps

Copilot+ PCs support leading creative applications such as Adobe Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve Studio and djay Pro, which have been specially optimised for use with the NPUs. This integration enables faster and more efficient creative work.

Copilot: your personal AI assistant

Every Copilot+ PC comes with the Copilot assistant, which is easily accessible via a dedicated button on the keyboard. Copilot utilises the latest AI models, including GPT-4, to enable natural and efficient interactions.

Conclusion

In summary, Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs offer the most powerful and intelligent features ever integrated into a Windows PC, setting new standards for the future of PC technology.
