Microsoft is kicking off a new era with Copilot+ PCs, but despite AI being all the rage in 2024, the Copilot+ push is about more than that.
Microsoft has a lot more than AI riding on Copilot + PCs. Although AI is the current buzzword of the tech industry, Microsoft ’s push into a new era of PCs has just as much to do with declining PC sales over the past several years, as well as Microsoft ’s decade-long drive to get Windows on ARM working.
That’s a lot compared to what we have seen up to this point. Intel’s Meteor Lake NPU is only capable of around 10 TOPS, while AMD’s Ryzen 8040 chips pack about 16 TOPS. The Snapdragon X Elite provides 45 TOPS, while Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake CPUs come with over 40 TOPS. According to Microsoft, that’s the key difference with a Copilot+ PC.
Microsoft only makes up a small fraction of the PC hardware market with its Surface devices, but more laptops shipped — particularly with Windows installed — is still a good thing for the corporation. Add on top of that stiff competition from Apple’s M-series laptops like the MacBook Air, and over a decade of trying to get ARM instructions working on Windows, and there’s a clear incentive for Copilot+ to be a success.
