Microsoft Copilot+PC: Answer to Apple Silicon

Microsoft had an ARM day.

  • 853rd product from Microsoft with a Copilot branding. "Copilot+ PC" is a branding for Windows machines who meet certain criteria (like 16 GB+ ram, all day battery, good performance, built-in AI chip etc.)
  • Along with MS's own Surface lineup, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Asus, and Acer are also launching their own "Copilot+ PC"
  • Currently, no chip from Intel or AMD meets the criteria of "Copilot+ PC". That said, they will be launching them soon.
  • Right now, "Copilot+ PC" laptops are equipped with either Snapdragon X plus (10 cores) or Snapdragon X Elite (12 cores) chips.
  • "Copilot+ PC" will feature a crap load of AI features. Some will run in the cloud, while others will run locally.
  • Surface laptop with snapdragon chip is claimed to be 58% faster than Apple MacBook M3 Air and has up to 22 hours of battery life.
  • 'Windows for ARM' has a new x86 emulator called Prism to run your grandpa apps. Microsoft absolutely didn't hype it like Rosetta.
  • It's a turning point for the Windows ecosystem.

Intel will release Lunar Lake for this nut still x86. It's NPU will meet criteria for copilot+pc

its still pretty good, not on ARM level of course but still good, have you checked out the core 7 ultra series? the batter life is insane for an x86 CPU and lunar lake will only be better (hopefully)
