Edmund_McGowan · November 29

As we approach the end of 2024, AI has certainly been flavor of the year, in computing and beyond. The arrival of Copilot+ PCs kicked off a fresh epoch in AI-integrated on-the-go computing, with unprecedented AI capabilities enhancing productivity, communication, and creativity. Lightweight, powerful laptops with intuitive AI solutions designed to simplify the daily grind with up to 29 hours of battery life are now the new normal. While the first wave of Copilot+ PCs exclusively featured Qualcomm CPUs to power the latest AI features, today we’re pleased to introduce the Swift 14 AI powered by Intel Core Ultra.

We’ve had to wait a few months since the arrival of the first Copilot+ PCs for the Intel Core Ultra 7 Copilot laptop, but it’s been worth the wait. Join us today as we discover the defining features of a Copilot+ PC, as well as the fundamentals of the Intel Ultra CPU, and get the low-down on the Swift 14.

What is a Copilot+ PC?

Before we delve into the details, let’s clear up the Copilot/Copilot+ confusion. You may have heard of Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant, well Copilot+ PCs certainly come equipped with Copilot, but it is not their defining feature!

Copilot+ PCs are laptops featuring next-gen AI-infused hardware and software, as well as new Windows capabilities, and 24 hr+ battery life. Alongside the latest CPUs and GPUs, Copilot+ PCs have NPUs (neural processing units) designed to power AI applications and services. NPUs enable on-device AI processing and innovation for the fastest, smartest Windows PCs ever.

AI-infused productivity and day and night performance are the name of the Copilot+ PC game. The NPU is at the core of all of this, and its processing power is measured in TOPS (trillion operations per second). To even be considered a Copilot+ PC, a device must be capable of over 40 TOPS: The Intel Ultra is capable of up to 48 TOPS NPU AI performance. To put this processing power to good use, Copilot+ PCs feature:

Copilot is the everyday AI-powered assistant we mentioned above, an its easily accessible via a single press of the Copilot key.
