In an unprecedented move that redefines the landscape of personal computing, we are proud to introduce Copilot+ PCs—a revolutionary category of Windows devices engineered to harness the full potential of artificial intelligence. These groundbreaking machines, the fastest and most intelligent Windows PCs ever conceived, are not just an incremental upgrade but a complete reimagining of what a PC can be.
What is Copilot?
Copilot is a term used by Microsoft to refer to its AI-powered assistant integrated across various Microsoft products and services. It is designed to enhance user productivity by providing context-aware, AI-driven assistance in tasks such as writing, editing, data analysis, and more.
Copilot leverages large language models (LLMs), such as those developed by OpenAI, to understand user input and generate relevant suggestions or complete tasks within applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even in the Windows operating system itself. The AI is designed to be intuitive, offering help that aligns with the user's intent, whether it's drafting an email, analyzing data, or generating creative content.
What is Copilot+ PCs?
Copilot+ PCs are a new generation of Windows-based personal computers designed to fully integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) into the computing experience. These PCs feature specialized hardware, including a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), alongside the CPU and GPU, enabling them to execute complex AI tasks directly on the device. This architecture delivers exceptional performance and efficiency, allowing for real-time processing of AI-driven features without relying solely on cloud services.
Designed to optimize AI applications, Copilot+ PCs provide enhanced performance for tasks like content creation, data analysis, and real-time language translation. With all-day battery life and efficient power consumption, these devices are not just powerful but also practical for everyday use, marking a significant leap forward in personal computing by making AI more accessible and integrated into daily workflows.
The Pinnacle of Performance: A Symphony of Power and Efficiency
At the heart of every Copilot+ PC lies a powerful new silicon capable of executing over 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS), enabling unparalleled speed and efficiency. This cutting-edge hardware is meticulously integrated with a new system architecture that synergizes the capabilities of the CPU, GPU, and a high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This triad of processing power is further enhanced by the most advanced AI models available, delivering up to 20 times more processing power and 100 times greater efficiency in running AI workloads compared to traditional systems.
These innovations translate into real-world benefits: Copilot+ PCs outperform competitors, including the latest MacBook Air, in sustained multithreaded performance by a remarkable 58%. Moreover, they offer all-day battery life, with up to 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge, making them the epitome of both power and longevity.
Windows Recall Feature in Copilot+ PCs
Copilot+ PCs are designed to make AI an integral part of your daily computing experience. The new Windows Recall feature, for instance, revolutionizes how we interact with our digital environment. Imagine having a photographic memory of everything you’ve seen or done on your PC, organized intuitively by associations unique to your personal experiences. With Recall, finding that elusive document or email becomes a seamless, intuitive process. This feature leverages a personal semantic index built and stored entirely on your device, ensuring both privacy and efficiency.
Cocreator Tool in Copilot+ PCs
But the AI innovations don’t stop there. The Cocreator tool empowers users to generate and refine images in near real-time, directly on their devices. By combining the power of NPUs with diffusion-based algorithms, Cocreator enables you to iterate on your creative ideas with unprecedented speed and precision. Whether you’re a professional artist or an amateur creator, this tool elevates your ability to express your ideas visually, offering a range of styles and customizations that cater to both literal and expressive artwork.
Key Features of the Cocreator Tool:
AI-Driven Image Generation: Cocreator allows users to describe what they want to create using natural language or simple drawings. The AI then generates images that align with the user's descriptions, providing a range of styles and options to choose from.
Real-Time Iteration: As users interact with the tool, they can refine and modify the generated images almost instantaneously. This iterative process enables the creation of highly customized visuals that match the user’s vision.
Creativity Slider: Cocreator includes a feature that lets users adjust the creativity level of the generated images, ranging from more literal interpretations to highly expressive and artistic renditions.
Seamless Integration: The tool is integrated with popular creative applications like Paint and Photos, making it accessible and easy to use within familiar environments.
Security at the Core: Uncompromised Protection and Privacy
In a world where digital security is paramount, Copilot+ PCs stand as a fortress of protection. Every device comes equipped with the Microsoft Pluton Security processor, enabled by default, along with a suite of new features and updates to Windows 11 that make it easier than ever to stay secure. Personalized privacy controls allow you to protect your most sensitive data, with options to delete or adjust the storage of your digital snapshots, ensuring that you remain in full control of your personal information.
Unmatched Creative Potential: AI-Powered Tools for Every User
Copilot+ PCs are not just about speed and security; they are about unleashing your creative potential. In partnership with leading software companies, we have optimized some of the world’s most beloved creative applications to leverage the power of NPUs. Adobe’s flagship apps, including Photoshop, Lightroom, and Express, are now available on Copilot+ PCs, with more to come. These applications benefit from the full performance advantages of AI acceleration, enabling faster and more efficient workflows for creative professionals.
Additionally, innovative AI features in apps like DaVinci Resolve Studio and CapCut take video editing to new heights, while tools like LiquidText and djay Pro offer enhanced productivity and entertainment options, all powered by the NPU for maximum performance and privacy.
Global Connectivity: Breaking Down Language Barriers
In our increasingly connected world, communication across languages is more important than ever. Copilot+ PCs come equipped with Live Captions that not only transcribe audio but also translate it from over 40 languages into English in real time. This feature ensures that whether you’re catching up on a podcast from abroad or collaborating with international colleagues, you can do so with confidence, knowing that your words will be understood as intended.
