Microsoft is requiring OEMs to include a Copilot key in their AI PCs, which must also feature a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the latest CPUs and GPUs. Intel and Microsoft have aligned on Core Ultra, Copilot, and Copilot key, but some laptops, like Asus’ new ROG Zephyrus, have shipped without the key. Intel is expanding its AI PC acceleration program to reach smaller developers and hardware vendors, aiming to optimize apps and hardware for AI PCs. The race for Intel is against Qualcomm, which is about to launch Snapdragon X Elite laptops, and Google is releasing an optimized version of Chrome for Windows on Arm. Microsoft will outline its vision for AI hardware and software at an upcoming event on May 20th.
