Microsoft’s Copilot AI features are coming to new Intel laptops in November


Intel says that Microsoft’s new Windows AI features will start arriving on some of its laptops in November. AMD has already launched laptops that are capable of meeting Microsoft’s Copilot Plus PC hardware requirements for Windows AI features, but the features have so far only been available on new Qualcomm-powered devices.
Intel is announcing new Intel Core Ultra 200V processors today, codenamed Lunar Lake, which will start getting Copilot Plus PC features later this year. “All designs featuring Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors and running the latest version of Windows are eligible to receive Copilot Plus PC features as a free update starting in November,” says Intel in a press release.
Microsoft previously told us that Intel Lunar Lake and AMD Strix Point PCs will get a free update to enable Copilot Plus PC features “when available,” with no clear date for the rollout. AMD was expecting Copilot Plus features by the end of 2024, though. We reached out to both Microsoft and AMD to clarify when Strix Point PCs will get the free update, but neither company replied in time for publication.
Copilot Plus PC features include Microsoft’s new Auto Super Resolution, a DLSS competitor that boosts frame rates in games by upscaling content. It uses the neutral processing unit (NPU) chips found on these new Copilot Plus PCs to offload the upscaling processing away from the CPU and GPU.
Copilot Plus PCs also include image Cocreate features, improved Windows Studio Effects, and the ability for apps like DaVinci Resolve Studio to tap into the NPU chip to accelerate tasks. Microsoft is also planning to bring its Recall AI features to Copilot Plus PCs, after the feature was delayed due to security concerns. The software maker is now targeting October for a release to Windows Insider testers, before rolling it out more broadly to Copilot Plus PCs.
