Microsoft Announces New Copilot+ AI PCs Powered By Snapdragon X Processors

In the recent Copilot+ PCs debut, Microsoft and Qualcomm announced their collaboration to bring the next generation of PCs to life. The partnership incorporates Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Series chipset with Copilot+ to “deliver groundbreaking AI capabilities.” Several global OEM partners launched a few series of Copilot+ PCs, which are exclusively powered by Snapdragon X Series processors and come with integrated NPUs offering 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second) of performance.

The Copilot+ PCs will use the AI features built-in Windows 11 and harness the power from the Snapdragon X Series processor to take the performance and efficiency to a new level. Alongside other partnered OEMs, Microsoft also released the next-generation Surface laptops, which are Microsoft’s own Copilot+ PCs.
