Unveiling the Next Generation of Windows PCs: Introducing Copilot+ PCs

At a special event on our new Microsoft campus, we are thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking innovation in the world of Windows PCs - Copilot+ PCs. These next-generation devices are designed to be the fastest and most intelligent Windows PCs ever built, revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. With powerful new silicon and access to advanced AI models, Copilot+ PCs offer unparalleled performance and capabilities that were previously unimaginable.

One of the key features of Copilot+ PCs is their incredible processing power. With silicon capable of an astonishing 40+ trillion operations per second (TOPS), these devices can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease. Whether you're generating and refining AI images in real-time using Cocreator or bridging language barriers with Live Captions, Copilot+ PCs empower you to do things that were once only possible in the cloud.

But the innovation doesn't stop there. We have completely reimagined the entire PC experience, from the silicon to the operating system, with AI at the center. This marks the most significant change to the Windows platform in decades. By bringing together the power of the CPU, GPU, and a new high-performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU), Copilot+ PCs achieve a level of performance never seen before. They are up to 20 times more powerful and up to 100 times more efficient for running AI workloads compared to previous devices.

With all this power, you might expect Copilot+ PCs to have limited battery life, but that's not the case. These devices can deliver up to 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge. That's up to 20% more battery life than the MacBook Air 15". So whether you're working on the go or enjoying a movie marathon, Copilot+ PCs have you covered.

Windows now offers more native Arm64 experiences than ever before, including popular apps like Chrome, Spotify, and Adobe Photoshop. With a powerful new emulator called Prism, your apps will run seamlessly, whether they're native or emulated. This means you can enjoy all your favorite applications on the fastest chip, starting with Qualcomm.

Security and privacy are also top priorities for us. Every Copilot+ PC comes secured out of the box with the Microsoft Pluton Security processor. We have also introduced new features and defaults in Windows 11 to make it easy for users to stay secure. And with personalized privacy controls, you have full control over what's important to you.

Now let's talk about some of the exciting AI-powered experiences that Copilot+ PCs bring to the table. One of the most frustrating problems we face daily is finding something we know we have seen before on our PC. With Recall, you can access virtually anything you have seen or done on your PC with ease. Copilot+ PCs organize information based on relationships and associations, allowing you to find what you're looking for quickly and intuitively.

Another incredible AI experience is Cocreator, which allows you to generate and refine AI images in nearly real-time. Whether you're using Paint or Photos, you can combine ink strokes with text prompts to create stunning artwork. With Restyle Image, you can reimagine your personal photos with a new style, giving them a fresh and artistic look.

But our AI capabilities don't end there. We have partnered with industry leaders like Adobe, DaVinci Resolve, LiquidText, and Algoriddim to bring their flagship apps to Copilot+ PCs. Whether you're a designer, video editor, or musician, these apps will take full advantage of the NPU's power, allowing you to express your creativity faster than ever before.

In an increasingly connected and global world, Copilot+ PCs aim to bring people closer together. Live Captions, now with live translations, can turn any audio that passes through your PC into a single, English-language caption experience in real time. With easily accessible controls in Quick Settings, you can look and sound your best, whether you're in a low-light environment or delivering a presentation.

Every Copilot+ PC comes with a personal AI agent called Copilot, accessible with just a single tap on the new Copilot key. Copilot puts the most advanced AI models at your fingertips, allowing you to have more natural voice conversations and access the latest models from partners like OpenAI.

We have collaborated with top OEMs like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and our very own Surface to bring a wide range of Copilot+ PCs to the market. These devices will begin launching on June 18, with prices starting at $999, offering incredible value compared to similar spec'd devices.

As we continue to push the boundaries of AI innovation, we believe that the PC will be at the forefront of this revolution. By combining the power of the cloud and the device, Copilot+ PCs open up a world of possibilities. We are excited to partner with our ecosystem to drive the next decade of Windows innovation and deliver even more incredible AI experiences to our users.
