Intel, AMD chips-powered AI PCs won’t get Copilot Plus features on launch

When Microsoft announced its new Copilot+ PC platform at a special event last month, it showcased its capabilities on devices powered by Qualcomm’s Arm architecture-based Snapdragon X series chips. Although the Copilot+ PC AI platform is built around Arm chips, it is not exclusive to it. Both Intel and AMD have unveiled their new PC chips that will power the Copilot+ experience. However, not out-of-the box.

At the launch of Lunar Lake processors and Ryzen AI 300 series processors, Intel and AMD, respectively, stated that devices powered by their new processors will receive Copilot+ experiences through a software update, unlike Qualcomm Snapdragon chip-powered PCs that will offer them out-of-the-box.
