Today on our Microsoft campus we introduced the world to an entirely new category of Windows PCs designed for AI, Copilot+ PCs. Our device partners joined us at the launch event to showcase their latest PC designs. After years partnering together on the design and engineering of this amazing portfolio, I am incredibly proud of the innovation on display today. The new scenarios, experiences and solutions for customers enabled by this new AI generation of computing will be transformative, as are the partner opportunities created for our ecosystem around the world.
Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. With powerful new silicon capable of an incredible 40+ NPU TOPS (trillion operations per second), they offer efficient AI workload processing at the edge. Today, we featured designs powered with Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors. We’re thrilled to begin this journey with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. on their latest processors for the Windows platform — and we’re excited for the innovation coming from our partners at AMD and Intel over the coming months.
These Copilot+ PCs are a game-changer, and we’re leading the industry with the scale only the Microsoft ecosystem can provide. The partner opportunities created by this technology shift are significant.

For our Cloud Service Provider (CSP) partners
AI PCs enable local AI processing at the edge, and we see extraordinary opportunity for Cloud Solution Providers to combine this new processing power with Cloud-based AI, to create brand new hybrid scenarios. Customers will be able to deploy solutions that take advantage of cloud scale, but also receive the benefits of local processing for lower latency, more granular data control and faster response times. It’s a versatile approach that can be scaled up or integrated into a larger cloud-based infrastructure as needed.
Our systems integrator and deployment partners are a critical part of the PC ecosystem, providing services and support for customers who are moving to modern Windows 11 PCs. Now customers will not only be able to refresh to get more performant, modern and secure hardware – but they will be able to get a new PC optimized for AI with Copilot+ PCs.
Finally, at our event we showcased some of our Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who are leveraging the new AI architectures to build hybrid applications that use the local NPU on the PC. In short order we will have tens of millions of PCs enabled with NPUs, providing a brand-new silicon landscape for ISVs to create completely reimagined application experiences.
The dawn of the AI PC era and introduction of a new category of Windows PCs, Copilot+ PCs represents a massive new opportunity for the Microsoft partner ecosystem and a once in a generation reason to refresh to the latest PCs for our customers.
