"A.I. Everywhere" EXCEPT Intel.

Copilot has become so ingrained in the Microsoft ecosystem that there is even a new keyboard key dedicated to the AI chatbot. Now it looks like much of its functionality could happen offline, with the processing happening on your laptop — but not if you’ve got a new Intel AI PC.
At the recent Intel AI Summit in Taipei, executives for the chip manufacturer told our sister publication Tom's Hardware that none of the current generation Intel Core Ultra chips meet the minimum requirements for running Copilot offline and on your device.
It all comes down to Trillion Operations per Second (TOPS) — a measure of how fast the NPU can run AI tasks, with higher numbers meaning better performance. You’ll need an NPU with at least a 40 TOPS count and at the moment, Intel Core Ultra chips only have 10 TOPS.
Currently, the only processor commonly used to run Windows that comes close to this capability is the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite with 45 TOPS. Intel says its next generation of Core Ultra chips will meet the minimum requirements.
