Windows 12 as far as i know?
As per this thread created, i got some information about Windows 12, which is: Windows 12 is coming about late 2024 or early 2025. Windows 12 is possibly already show up on Canary Channel although...
I don't understand why a NPU must be a requirement when there's plenty of us who have GPUs that outperform NPUs in terms of TOPS performance. Show me an NPU that outperforms the RTX4070Ti. I hate that I'm gatekept from features because I chose to build a PC with a 9800X3D and a 4070Ti instead of an NPU. At least give us the option to leverage some of our tensor cores and CUDA cores to use "Copilot+" features. I can run LLMs locally on my PC, with better generation times and throughput than the leading NPU driven PC, but I can't use the enhanced search in windows. Make it make sense.
If Windows 12 were to give us the option to leverage our GPUs in lieu of an NPU, I'd be a very early adopter, but if they're going to try to force us to get a new (N)PU then I'll just stick with Win11 to the end, the way so many people have been doing with Win10.
Just my two cents. Of course, it's all speculation based on what's been mentioned in this post and thread.
