Overview
- Microsoft has set the baseline for DRAM in AI PCs at 16GB, indicating that most laptops introduced this year will have this amount of system RAM.
- AI PCs will also require at least 40 TOPS of compute power, which could be provided by a discrete GPU or built-in NPUs in processors.
- Microsoft's Copilot AI assistance is expected to be integrated across Windows 11 in a deeper fashion, including a dedicated key on the keyboard to invoke Copilot.
- Intel's current Meteor Lake chips are said to reach 34 TOPS at best, while AMD Ryzen 8000 series and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform are expected to deliver around 45 TOPS.
- RAM upgrade is recommended for users with 8GB of RAM to keep up with the latest Copilot features and the increasing demand of modern systems.
