Microsoft’s out-of-the-box thinking has led to decades of innovation. As we enter a revolutionary era of change, triggered by the uptake of AI, Microsoft have once again introduced a game-changing piece of tech. Here’s everything you need to know about Copilot+ PCs.
While Copilot for Microsoft 365 is designed to be used equally on any device, Microsoft set out to create devices with ultimate AI capabilities to give organisations the best experiences possible when it comes to AI. Collaborating with all of their major laptop partners as well as expanding their own Surface range, Microsoft have created Copilot+ PCs equipped with high-performance Natural Processing Units (NPU’s).
An NPU is a special device for AI workloads. It is not like a CPU or a GPU, which run the operating system or handle graphics, but it can help with both when neural networks are used to speed them up.
These modern NPU’s act as an accelerator for all AI workflows, being able to support with tasks quicker, efficiently, and sustainably.
