Microsoft has introduced a new category of Windows PCs designed for the artificial intelligence (AI) era which are named ‘Copilot+ PCs’. These are the fastest and most intelligent Windows PCs ever built by the tech giant- claimed the company in an official statement.
Starting at USD 999 (which is around Rs 83,220), the PCs come with new silicon capable of an incredible 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life and access to the most advanced AI models.
Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President, Consumer Chief Marketing Officer said, “These experiences come to life on a set of thin, light and beautiful devices from Microsoft Surface and our OEM partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung, with availability starting on June 18".
Connected to and enhanced by the large language models (LLMs) running in Azure Cloud in concert with small language models (SLMs), Copilot+ PCs can now achieve a level of performance never seen before.
“They are up to 20 times more powerful and up to 100 times as efficient for running AI workloads and delivering industry-leading AI acceleration,” said the company.
The Microsoft ‘Pluton Security’ processor will be enabled by default on all Copilot+ PCs for security.
“Now with Recall, you can access virtually what you have seen or done on your PC in a way that feels like having a photographic memory,” the company informed.
Adobe’s flagship apps for Copilot+ PCs, including Photoshop, Lightroom Express Illustrator, Premiere Pro and more will arrive this summer.
