In May, Microsoft announced a new category of devices: the Copilot+ PC. These PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built, featuring new silicon with NPUs capable of 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second), all-day battery life and breakthrough AI experiences. This reimagining of the PC in its entirety has AI at its center, marking the most significant change to the Windows platform in decades. Now at IFA, the annual Berlin-based electronics tradeshow, Copilot+ PCs took center stage with Microsoft’s partners, including Qualcomm, which made a major announcement ahead of this massive event, introducing its Snapdragon* X Plus 8-core platform, powered by an 8-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU for elevated responsiveness and efficiency. The new Snapdragon platform includes an integrated GPU, support for up to three external monitors and 45 TOPS NPU. It also has leading performance per watt which, paired with the platform’s significant advancements in connectivity, has the potential to push productivity to new heights, whether you’re creating presentations on-the-go, video streaming or any number of other tasks.
