At Computex 2024, Microsoft’s Copilot+ initiative is taking a step closer to reality with AMD’s latest chip platforms. The Ryzen AI 300 for notebooks and Ryzen 9000 for desktops promise enhanced AI performance for laptops and speedy gaming for desktop users. The Ryzen AI 300 chips boast a powerful neural processing unit (NPU) delivering 50 TOPS (tera operations per second) of AI performance, a significant improvement over AMD’s previous laptop hardware. On the other hand, the new Ryzen 9000 desktop processors are said to be 16% faster than their predecessors across the board.
These announcements mark a shift in the landscape, as Qualcomm is no longer the sole provider of high-speed AI hardware for Copilot+ PCs. Microsoft’s initiative has set a new standard for AI PCs, requiring an NPU with a minimum of 40 TOPS of AI performance, along with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSDs to meet the criteria.
