Intel and Microsoft are collaborating to enable Microsoft Copilot to run locally on PCs, with a 40 TOPS NPU performance requirement for next-gen AI PCs. The AI-powered features in Microsoft Teams, including Copilot, aim to enhance hybrid meetings. This move signifies a shift towards AI PCs, with Intel defining the concept more clearly at an event in Taipei. Microsoft is offloading some Copilot features to local hardware while emphasizing the use of NPUs.
