the specification for the AI PC, which must have made for frustrating reading at Intel and AMD. It required an NPU with a performance of 40TOPS, and Microsoft exclusively used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chips on the first systems. This must have been galling for Intel, as that arbitrary number left Intel’s Meteor Lake, which can only muster 34TOPS, out of the mix. It almost looks deliberate. This fall, the blue and red teams can get into the game when AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 chips and Intel’s new Core Ultra 200V series get to join the party and we’ll get a slew of new CoPilot+ systems.
