Tom's Hardware websiteQuoteIntel's statement, pointing out that Microsoft's Copilot service will be able to operate in an offline form, but the laptop computing power that meets the execution conditions must be at least 45 TOPS.
Currently, Intel and AMD have each proposed AI PC designs, and their new processor products utilize the integration of CPU, GPU, and NPU computing components to achieve higher artificial intelligence computing capabilities, thereby promoting the development trend of "AI PCs" that combine artificial intelligence computing application technologies.
However, to run Microsoft's Copilot service offline, which requires a computing power of 45 TOPS or more, neither Intel's newly released Meteor Lake Core Ultra series processors nor AMD's Ryzen 8040 series processors with Ryzen AI, codenamed Hawk Point, meet the requirement. Only Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite processor, released last year, meets the requirement.
However, this computing power condition is mainly to meet the basic requirements for executing Microsoft Copilot services, and does not mean that the "AI PC" currently equipped with Intel and AMD processors cannot execute other artificial intelligence application services.
