Transcripts
today we're going beyond the cloud to
the device removing those fundamental
constraints of power in space reducing
latency ensuring
privacy We Believe AI will be
distributed the richest AI experiences
will harness the power of the cloud and
the edge working together in concert
this in turn will lead to a new category
of devices that turn the world bu itself
into a prompt devices that can instantly
see us hear reason about our intent and
our surroundings for us this Vision
starts with our most beloved and most
widely used canvas windows and it's why
we are introducing an entirely new class
of Windows PCS engineered to unleash the
power of distributed AI across the edge
and Cloud we call this new category
copilot plus
PCS we've reimagined the entirety of the
PC From the Inside Out we've made a huge
leap forward in technical capability to
usher in this new category and even with
all this power these new PCS are
unbelievably thin light and beautiful
I'm going to show you these in a minute
but let's start first by describing what
makes them unique first they are the
most powerful Windows PCS ever built
second they give you access to the most
advanced AI available with Microsoft
co-pilot and finally they're going to
introduce all new productivity
creativity and communication
capabilities that I think of literally
as superpowers let's start first by
talking about performance co-pilot plus
PCS introduce a new systems architecture
powered by the CPU GPU and an allnew npu
running at an incredible 40 trillion
operations per second 40 trillion
we also completely rearchitecturing
to optimize performance and Battery the
result co-pilot plus PCS are the fastest
Windows PCS ever built and if we wanted
to do a comparison they're 58% faster
than the most advanced MacBook Air with
the M3
processor and all of that with a battery
that can last all day all right next we
talked about Microsoft co-pilot we've
updated Microsoft co-pilot your everyday
AI companion by reimagining what
co-pilot can do on Windows let's take a
look it's going to be easier than ever
to call on co-pilot with just a tap on
your keyboard or on the center of your
windows taskbar as you see here we're
simplifying The Experience we're making
it more personal we're making it faster
to get to what you want we're also going
to make it a flexible app experience so
you can resize it you can snap it or you
can even maximize it and run it full
screen and one of the great things now
when you have c-al and windows is I can
now use two windows and I can literally
drag and drop something from one window
to the other like in this case with the
northern lights and I'm able to ask it
hey tell me about this phenomena that
happened in Seattle last weekend and I
get a great set of information on it
later later this year you're going to
see co- pilot show up in Windows in
settings where it's going to provide
helpful suggestions for you so for
example here when you go into Windows
settings and you need to conf figure PC
with one click copile will help you or
you can get things done in fewer steps
when you go to file explorer for example
you can quickly get a photo and you can
edit it without having to open an
app or even what's great one of my
favorites within notifications itself so
when you're on your Windows desktop and
you get a notification you can now
simply click on that notification and
co-pilot for example in this case we
answer that question to reply to an
email with the right PowerPoint just
with a click
and we're really excited to bring the
latest technology from our partners at
open aai to co-pilot I'm delighted to
share that GPT 40 with amazing text
voice and vision capabilities will soon
be available in co-pilot let me show you
a
preview one of our developers Ryan uh
simply shared his screen with copilot
while he was playing Minecraft now what
you're going to see here is two voices
the first will be Ryan the second will
be co-pilot and he's going to be having
a natural conversation like he would
with a friend while he plays let's watch
this
experience hey co-pilot how's it going
hey I'm doing great and it looks like
you're about to dive into some Minecraft
ready to build explore and maybe dodge a
few Ms yeah I'm trying to figure out how
to make a sword my son plays this game
all the time and I have no idea what I'm
doing no worries I'm here to help you
impress your son I see you've got a
crafting table in front of you which is
a great start to craft a sword you'll
need some materials can you open your
inventory
just press e on your keyboard yeah do I
have what I need let's see you've got
some sticks perfect for the swords
handle but it looks like you're missing
the material for the blade you can use
wood Stone iron gold or Diamond all
right let's pause it there for a second
did you see how copilot not only could
understand that he was in Minecraft but
it could also understand Ryan's request
for help and assess the inventory on his
screen well it gets better as Ryan
continues he gets a surprise that
co-pilot amazingly identified and it
tailor interaction let's watch let's
start by gathering some wood or stone
shall we head out and find some
resources yeah that sounds great oh my
God what's that oh no it's a zombie run
you need to get away from it fast either
Sprint away or quickly build a tower of
blocks straight up to get out of its
reach if you can find a shelter or dig
into the side of a hill do it now just
make sure it can't reach is you all
right I think I might be safe now Co
that was a close one great job finding
shelter so that was honestly for us
yeah for us that was honestly a magic
moment to discover how Coop pilot with
GPD 40 could immediately identify and
adapt and be helpful on a screen that it
had no knowledge of until it saw it in
this case a surprise zombie spawn and I
love this example because it demonstrate
how copilot can become a natural and
helpful part of your entire Windows
Experience every cop plus PC will have
the building blocks needed to deliver
outstanding performance including 16 GB
of RAM a minimum of 256 GB of SSD
storage and integrated neural Processing
Unit or an npu npus specialize in The
Matrix math needed for AI and the npus
on copilot plus PCS are the most
powerful in the PC category capable of
over 40 trillion operations for second
this is a step change in AI performance
allowing AI that is lightning fast and
always working even with multiple AI
workloads running
concurrently not only that these npus
barely sip a few watts of power even
when fully utilized we have brought that
same focus on efficiency to every part
of the copile plus PCS we were
Relentless in finding ways to reduce
power consumption systemwide the result
is unprecedented battery life with all
of your AI today today we're debuting
copile plus PCS on the arm architecture
with the Snapdragon X Series and we were
excited to partner with Qualcomm to
Designed this entirely new chip together
and we rebuilt Windows 11 from the
inside out for arm as a result copy plus
PCS on Snapdragon X will deliver up to
15 hours of web browsing and up to 22
hours of local video playback that is
20% more than the latest MacBook Air 15
in in fact that's
right in fact copile Plus species
