Yesterday Microsoft presented the new line of laptops Surface Pro 10a range of laptops that accommodate new processors with ARM architecture from Qualcomm, with the Snapdragon Snapdragon X Elite. Both have a neural processing unit, known as an NPU, to perform AI tasks locally.
Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Intelligence, plays a very important role in these new AI teams, as the company showed during the presentation event with functions such as Reminderto see everything we have done on PC, translate subtitles into more than 4 languages in addition to extending and improving the resolution of any image locally, without depending on the Internet thanks to the NPU that these processors include.
Microsoft Copilot in video games
But, in addition, it also showed how Copilot can be used in the world of video games, which has gone unnoticed in many media. In the video that can be seen below, we see the integration of Microsoft Copilot into Minecraft.

Thanks to this integration, any user wishing to create an object in this video game can know, without having to search on the Internet, the materials they need and how to place them to create it. In the video we see how a user interacts with Microsoft Copilot via voice commands to ask him what he needs to make a sword. Copilot tells you how to access the inventory and checks that you don’t have the necessary equipment by telling you what to do first.
As we can see, the user asks Microsoft Copilot for advice on how to create a sword in natural language
Behind Microsoft Copilot is GPT-4o, the most modern version of ChatGPT which was presented last week and which adds a large number of functions and improvements compared to the previous generation, GTP-4. For now, Microsoft has only shown how to use Copilot with Minecraft. This doesn’t mean it’s limited to th is specific title.
If Microsoft Copilot is able to integrate into any video game, it will be the end of the guides that can be found on the Internet. No more searching on Google or YouTube how to defeat the enemy in the game, what are the most important objects in a certain area of the video game or what tricks we can use.
Laptops with AI
Thanks to the launch of ARM processors from Qualcomm, the industry PC with AI receives significant support not only from Microsoft after the announcement of its new line of equipment, but also from the rest of the manufacturers, who have also announced that these will reach their next models to offer support for Microsoft Copilot.
The current range of Intel and AMD processors still does not meet the minimum TOPS which requires Microsoft’s Copilot and which amounts to 40. The Qualcomm solution offers 45 TOPS, and makes it the most powerful AI processor that can currently be found on the market, above current solutions of ‘Intel and AMD.
