After the launch of Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chipset, Microsoft is now ready to unveil its true AI computers next year. The company has an excellent Surface line that competes against Apple's M-series MacBooks.
Microsoft's new AI Copilot+ PCs are here and they look amazing!
However, it lags behind in the performance department and is no match for Apple's M-series ARM silicon. With the Oryon cores and Hexagon NPU in the Snapdragon X Elite, Microsoft is now on a similar footing to deliver a true AI experience on the upcoming Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6.
According to Windows Central's report, Microsoft is working on an overall upgrade for the next-generation Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6. These AI-powered laptops will pack the latest chipsets from Qualcomm and Intel. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite ARM chipset has a dedicated Hexagon NPU capable of 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS) for AI operations.
It can be used for AI-centric features on the device in the upcoming Windows 12 version codenamed "Hudson Valley". Microsoft internally calls laptops built on Qualcomm's chipsets "CADMUS PCs."
