Nvidia has announced that it will increase the power of Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft's new, more powerful version of its AI-enabled PCs, by equipping these laptops with Nvidia RTX GPUs.
In a blog post, Nvidia tells us: “In the coming months, Copilot+ PCs equipped with new low-power systems-on-a-chip and RTX GPUs will launch, giving gamers, creators, enthusiasts and developers greater performance to meet the most demanding demands. on-premises AI workloads, along with Microsoft’s new Copilot+ features.”
In addition to giving this new generation of AI-powered Windows 11 laptops much more performance in terms of AI processing power through its RTX GPUs, Nvidia has more plans for developers and creators, as mentioned.
That includes a new Nvidia R555 Game Ready driver that makes it easier to run AI models locally on a Windows 11 PC in a much faster way. In fact, Nvidia claims that large language models (LLM) can run up to 3 times faster with the new driver.
Other advantages will allow Windows developers to train complex AI models on the Microsoft operating system natively, Nvidia tells us.
Don't we have to wait long?
So what does Nvidia GPUs coming to Copilot+ PCs really mean? Well, these devices will be much more capable of reaching a heavy level for AI performance, not only with the low-power CPU and its NPU running the show, but also with a powerful discrete mobile GPU.
Team Green seems to be jumping on the Copilot+ PC bandwagon sooner rather than later, as while the “next few months” are a bit vague when it comes to the release schedule, it seems to suggest that the move is in the cards for the future further. nearby.
Nvidia mentions pairing its mobile RTX GPUs with “new low-power systems-on-a-chip,” and right now the only offering available is Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X. However, we do not see this as a statement on the matter. that we'll be getting a Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PC and an Nvidia RTX GPU, as there are a lot of wrinkles to iron out (on the Windows on Arm controller front for starters, and overall, it just doesn't seem like a likely combination).
So we take this to mean that Nvidia is preparing to equip Intel- or AMD-powered Copilot+ PCs with RTX GPUs in the future when those devices emerge, likely with the launch of NPU-compliant Intel Lunar Lake and AMD Strix Point stricter. requirements for Copilot+ PCs, which the current generation Teams Blue and Red mobile chips do not meet.
Whatever the case, there's no doubt that RTX graphics will be a powerful addition to help boost Windows 11's incoming AI features.
