Event details
Not sure if this is something you can speak on, but regarding Windows 11 and AI:
Will Windows 11 continue to support devices without an NPU, or an NPU that isn't able to deliver a certain number of TOPS?
Do any Microsoft AI tools require more than a Copilot+ PC NPU is able to run on end user devices/ executing the agent or AI features on their device?
MicrosoftHello BlueSakura​, Windows 11 will absolutely continue to support devices without an NPU, or even NPUs that don't meet the 40 TOPS minimum for a Copilot+ PC! The Windows AI features that are exclusive to Copilot+ PCs are able to run on all Copilot+ PCs (none of the features we have released to date require more than the Copilot+ PC minimum specifications).
Great, thank you!
Maybe this is something already being discussed at Microsoft, but having like a System Requirements for NPU/TOPS would be helpful as the platform evolves, giving Admins and others some sort of understanding of the applications need. Hopefully a Copilot+ device remains Copilot+ for the duration of the use (3-5 years), but I can see that change as the OS evolves.
