The perfectly oiled communication from AMD and Intel regarding the new generations of processors clashes with the announcement of Copilot+ from Microsoft. Like a beautiful mechanism that seizes up.
Copilot+ is THE trendy feature at Microsoft. The one that is on everyone’s lips and the one, above all, that pushed the Redmond firm to consider a whole new family of PCs.
Despite the power of future generations of AMD and Intel processors coming in the second half of this week, it seems that Strix Point and other Lunar Lake are not completely “Copilot+ proof”.
Copilot+ arrives on ARM SoC…
When announcing this new family of Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft was clear on one point: it is first of all a matter of grouping together future laptops based on ARM processors designed for artificial intelligence.
He who can do more can do less, the saying goes, and given the power expected from future generations of AMD and Intel processors, we expected Copilot+ to be just a formality. Hadn’t the two American companies focused on the artificial intelligence capabilities of their respective NPUs (Neural Processing Units)?
Unfortunately, on June 10, the first information reached us indicating that these new chips, Strix Point from AMD and Lunar Lake from Intel, would not be able to “ to access all AI functions » from Copilot+.
…but AMD/Intel CPUs will have to wait
Among the Copilot+ features that already seemed likely to be missing, we were talking about the controversial Recall, but also the very interesting (at least on paper) Super Resolution.
Without going into too much detail, spokespersons for Microsoft and Intel then confirmed to the media The Verge that updates would be necessary for more complete support for Copilot+ features. These updates were confirmed in turn by Thomas Hannaford, communications manager at Intel, and Matthew Hurwitz, his equivalent within the AMD group.
The first simply explained that “ Lunar Lake will benefit from the Copilot+ experience through an update, when it is available ”, while the second is more precise: “ We expect to have the Copilot+ experience by the end of 2024. » If the interest of Copilot+ remains to be demonstrated, AMD and Intel may have it wrong for their very new generations.

Having fallen into video games at a time when it took a great imagination to see here a football match, there a tank fight in these few bars represented on the screen, I have followed all the developments for forty years. Loyal to the PC, but a fan of all genres, I only have trouble with JRPGs. Otherwise, from the driest turn-based strategy to the most spectacular FPS, including sports simulations or musical games, I can do it all... with a preference for management and games combining several styles. My video game pantheon would consist of three series: Elite, Civilization and Max Payne.
