If the new Qualcomm chip presented in April is the heart of the new era of AI on PC, Satya Nadella’s words in today’s presentation also point the way forward: an era in which the PC anticipates the user’s actions. The “world as a guest” will start with Windows and the new PCs will be “Copilot Plus PCs”.

The other two AI PC chips are AMD Strix Point for the second half of this year and Intel’s Lunar Lake. The three chips which will have NPUs and will be in charge of putting Copilot Plus PCs in the hands of users to be the most powerful PCs, Copilot as a daily digital assistant and the integration of a series of experiences based on generative artificial intelligence.
According to Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and head of consumer marketing at Microsoft, the Copilot+PC will be 58% faster than the MacBook Air M3 from Apple thanks to the restructuring of the Windows 11 architecture And with an amazing battery that will last all day.

It’s Recall, the star feature of Windows
On the other hand, GPT-4o will soon be available in Copilot and for this Microsoft has shown how Copilot helps the player when playing Minecraft to respond by voice in the material creation guide. What Microsoft has shown is that Copilot can be the player’s assistant in the game and even warn them when a zombie appears. In other words, it reacts immediately with your voice, as we saw during the OpenAI presentation a week ago.
The ‘Recall’ function has also been introduced: It’s like seeing something that was seen on the PC in an instant, as if it were a photographic memory. It can be used either to remember the search done on Pinterest a few days ago or a discussion that took place on WhatsApp or Discord while discussing a particular topic. It is as if it is a kind of return to the past in which the PC shows precisely this “recorded” moment or what is now called “Recall”.

The edge
This novelty is closely linked to confidentiality and security so that at any time the user can delete whatever he wants. It has not been determined whether, as with ChatGPT by allowing queries not to be used to train artificial intelligence, Microsoft will do the same with everything that happens on the PC.
Microsoft also abandoned other functions based on artificial intelligence like Cocreator, which allows the user to create images, and updates to “Live Captions” with translation-focused functions so that all audio has its English subtitles.
Finally, In the coming weeks the new GPT-4o model will be presented presented by OpenAI to enable natural conversations from Windows. An arrival that will occur at the same time as the alpha version of ChatGPT’s conversational mode in the mobile versions of Android and iOS, also announced a few days ago from the application itself.
