Everything you need to know about Copilot+ PCs by Snapdragon X Series processors

Copilot+ PCs are an entirely new class of Windows PCs powered today exclusively by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors. These new devices feature a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS), which unlocks new artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced experiences in Windows 11 and popular applications (apps).

In addition to powering the world’s fastest NPU for laptops, Snapdragon X Series processors also deliver unrivaled central processing unit (CPU) performance and battery efficiency — making it the most powerful, intelligent and efficient platform ever created for Windows in its class.

Entirely new terminology for an entirely new class of PCs​

What qualifies a Copilot+ PC?​

Microsoft requires that all Copilot+ PCs offer an NPU with 40 TOPS, 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. Snapdragon X Series processors meet and exceed these specs.

What is an NPU?​

An NPU, or neural processing unit, is a dedicated processor on a larger system on chip (SoC) designed specifically for accelerating neural network operations and AI tasks.

What does TOPS mean?​

The newly created metric used to measure AI’s incredible power and velocity, TOPS, or trillions of operations per second, gauges the total maximum achievable throughput for an NPU. Copilot+ PCs must deliver at least 40 NPU TOPS.

What is “on-device AI”?​

Capable of working in harmony with Cloud AI, on-device AI delivers a faster, more secure and highly optimized AI with computing power you can rely on all on your laptop.

Unlock all-new AI experiences that empower creativity and new ways of working​

Recall important details in seconds: Safely and securely access virtually anything you have seen or done on your PC quickly and intuitively by typing in cues of what you remember.

Co-create with AI within Windows: Generate endless images for free with the ability to fine tune to your liking, and save favorites to your collections

Work with apps redesigned for Copilot+ PCs: Create faster with tools for videos, photos and more with some of the most popular and exciting apps — like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Davinci, Luminar Neo, GIMP and Stable diffusion.

Accomplish more with incredible new Copilot+ capabilities​

Copilot+ on Windows enables smart innovations that help you do more. Some real-world use cases include:

• Effortlessly recap meetings: Instead of multitasking while trying to take meeting notes, ask for a summary before signing off.
• Compose more effective emails: Get suggestions on how to effectively deliver sensitive information or tips to improve clarity and tone.
• Find information faster: Instantly find, create, summarize and analyze without opening multiple apps and files.
• Create content more easily: Transform your words into a PowerPoint presentation, complete with visuals.

Boost productivity with amazing power and performance​

The Snapdragon X Series is designed to help apps run fast, while consuming a lot less power. Plus, the multi-day battery reduces downtime and frustration, allowing you to stay on task. For example, it enables you to:

• work for hours on a single charge,
• run the latest apps without lags or delays, and
• get lightning-fast responses to queries.

Improve security and privacy to better protect your data and personal information​

Chip-to-cloud security starts with the Snapdragon X Series and extends through safeguards such as the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit, Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and Microsoft Pluton. By default, all Copilot+ PCs are Secured-Core PCs.

Plus, built-in personalized privacy controls help protect what’s important to you. On-device AI preserves tasks and data on your device, where they are kept private. For example:

• Recall leverages information you’ve seen or created with snapshots that are built and stored entirely on your device. These snapshots are yours alone and stay locally on your PC.
• Liquid Text uses AI features that run entirely on-device via NPU, so your data stays private.

The PC reborn​

Windows Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series are transforming the way we interact with our PCs and helping us achieve more. With the world’s fastest NPU for laptops, multi-day battery life and modern security, these PCs empower people to be productive and creative.
