Closing Thoughts

“We have to find ways to get more efficient at what we do. That means bringing AI down to the edge. If you haven’t seen these capabilities, it would be a great time to start to talk to folks at Connection and tell them that you’re interested in learning more about this. It is really, really amazing!”

Copilot+ AI PCs Decoded: Snapdragon X Series Inside Q&A

Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon X Elite are the fastest, most intelligent and power efficient available for Windows in its class. 40+ TOPS gives you plenty of power to drive all sorts of other AI apps, but it gives you enough power to have that running in the background all the time, so your device learns what you're doing. When you only have 10 or 15 TOPS, you just don’t have that sort of capability. Additionally, our architecture—from a giant motherboard down to a small system on a chip—allows us to conserve power providing an even better experience.
We've got some great advantages built around the NPU being able to handle these AI workloads efficiently. By running at 40+ TOPS and using so little power, you can do amazing amounts of work. You can put 13 billion parameters in your AI engine and run that using only 300 milliwatts. If you don’t have that 40+ TOPS, you’re going to be making a decision that might hurt your business in the future. It gives your employees less capability that puts them at a lower productivity standard than your competitors.
Speech and image is one of the things that AI does really, really well. We’ve created the Qualcomm AI Hub with various resources to help in both of these area. Here you can find the ability to do faster, better image recognition, speech recognition, and then incorporate those tools into the software development. It’s all there on the AI Hub. If you haven't seen it, be sure to take advantage of it.
Security is always a concern. We actually have a security processing unit (SPU) embedded in Microsoft Pluton security. If you don't have devices that have Pluton embedded, it’s going to be hard to provide the same level of security to protect yourself. Pluton is the one way to protect that whole chip. If you can protect the chip, you can protect everything else going forward—from chip to cloud.
