New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC
New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC
admin 2024/05/27 16:01Microsoft’s “Copilot+” AI PC requirements are embarrassing for Intel and AMD
Microsoft demands an NPU capable of at least 40 trillion operations per second. Microsoft is using its new Surface launch and this week’s Build developer conference as a platform to launch its new “Copilot+" PC initiative, which comes with specific hardware requirements that systems will need to meet to be eligible. Copilot+ PCs will be able to handle some AI-accelerated workloads like chatbots and image generation locally instead of relying on the cloud, but new hardware will generally be required to run these workloads quickly and power efficiently.
Your current PC probably doesn’t have an AI processor, but your next one might
At a minimum, systems will need 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, to accommodate both the memory requirements and the on-disk storage requirements needed for things like large language models (LLMs; even so-called “small language models” like Microsoft’s Phi-3, still use several billion parameters). Microsoft says that all of the Snapdragon X Plus and Elite-powered PCs being announced today will come with the Copilot+ features pre-installed, and that they'll begin shipping on June 18th.
