Exciting news for laptop users: More devices are soon going to support Copilot AI features in Windows 11. A new wave of Intel and AMD laptops is expected to be launched by the end of the year, broadening access to these innovative tools.
Since their debut in June, laptops equipped with Copilot+ have been relatively limited in availability. So far, these AI features from the American tech giant have been exclusive to devices powered by Qualcomm chips. However, this is about to change. Microsoft is expanding its range of AI-enabled devices to include laptops running on Intel and AMD processors, gradually increasing the number of devices that meet the hardware requirements for Microsoft’s AI-enhanced PCs.
Expanding AI Capabilities Beyond Qualcomm: Intel and AMD Join the Game
Recently, Intel unveiled its first Lunar Lake processors for laptops, which will be compatible with PC+Copilot.features. In a recent press release, Intel confirmed that “all models equipped with Intel Core Ultra 200V processors running the latest version of Windows are eligible to receive PC Copilot Plus features as a free update starting in November.” This compatibility also extends to laptops powered by AMD’s new Strix Point processors.
Microsoft was quick to affirm this expansion of the PC Copilot+ lineup with the inclusion of new silicon technologies from both AMD and Intel. According to a statement on the Redmond-based company’s blog, “Today, we take another step forward in our journey by expanding our PC Copilot+ range with the introduction of new silicon technologies: the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and Intel Core Ultra 200V series.”
A Promising Start for AI-Enabled Laptops
The PC Copilot+ laptops come equipped with a host of exclusive features. These include live captions with translation, Windows Studio effects, the Cocreator tool in Paint, and the Restyle Image & Creator feature, which allows users to create and modify images directly from the Windows 11 Photos app. Also, the controversial Microsoft Recall feature, which cannot be uninstalled, is expected to be introduced next month for Windows Insider members.
Currently, only devices powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus chips can access these capabilities. However, starting in November, the new AMD Ryzen AI 300 and Intel Core Ultra 200V series will join this list, offering users even more options for experiencing these advanced AI features.
The Future of Windows 11 AI Features on Laptops
This expansion signifies a significant step for Microsoft as it pushes forward with its vision for AI-integrated personal computing. With both Intel and AMD now joining Qualcomm in supporting Copilot+ features, more users will have access to these groundbreaking tools that enhance productivity and creativity.
As these new devices hit the market, it remains to be seen how well they will perform. But with a growing range of processors and manufacturers on board, the future looks promising for AI-enhanced laptops running Windows 11. Whether for work, play, or creative endeavors, users can look forward to a more intelligent and responsive computing experience.
