"
Faster, safer, stronger Windows PC
Windows 11 AI PC combines the performance of CPU, GPU and the new neural processing unit (NPU) to build a new system architecture. Windows 11 AI PC can support up to 22 hours of local video playback or 15 hours of web browsing on a single charge, with better energy performance. The first batch of Windows 11 AI PC will be equipped with Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors, thanks to the customized Qualcomm Oryon CPU, achieving an excellent ratio of performance to power consumption, providing better performance and battery efficiency. The NPU on the Snapdragon X series system-on-chip (SoC) has a computing power of up to 45 trillion operations per second (45 TOPS). Advanced integrated Qualcomm Adreno GPU provides better graphics rendering capabilities.
Microsoft offers a number of Arm64 native application experiences, including Microsoft applications such as PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, Excel and OneNote, as well as translations by iqiyi (iQiyi), bilibili (Bilibili), Foxit PDF Editor Professional Edition, KuGou Music (Kugou), QQ, QQ Music and NetEase youdao. With the new Prism simulator, you can not only run native applications, but also simulate other applications smoothly.
All Windows 11 AI PC have the Microsoft Pluton Security processor enabled by default, and many new features, updates, and default settings have been introduced for Windows 11. In addition, PC has built-in personalized privacy control features to help you protect important information.
Windows 11 AI PC provides enterprises with more powerful Windows 11 devices with unique AI capabilities, and by using Windows PC, enterprises can deploy and manage Windows 11 AI PC using existing tools and processes, including IT control and App Assure support for new features.
"Review" (Recall) function is readily accessible
Recall is a new feature that makes it easy for users to find content or tasks that they have browsed or dealt with on PC. Users can cross the timeline, recall and find what they want in any application, website, document, and other places they have visited, or ask through screenshots, which can give advice based on target identification. describe the user's retrieval needs more accurately, thus helping to find the corresponding content.
The new feature of "Recall" provides users with a dedicated personal semantic index that is fully built and stored on the device. All snapshots of users will be saved in their own PC, and users can delete individual snapshots by adjusting or deleting the appropriate time range in Settings, or pausing the feature through the icon in the system tray on the taskbar; users can also choose not to save and filter out related applications or websites. Users can always control their own privacy and ensure privacy security.
New AI experience and Innovation
Windows 11 AI PC unlocks a series of new experiences locally on devices with powerful processors and AI models, and removes previous limitations due to latency, cost, and even privacy to increase productivity, creativity, and communication efficiency. In addition, Microsoft is also working with some popular applications around the world to provide users with an innovative AI experience with the power of NPU. Microsoft says that all of these new AI experiences are developed under the guidance of the "responsible AI fundamentals" and that all AI features meet Microsoft standards.
Microsoft announced that the Adobe series of flagship applications will be launched in Windows 11 AI PC, including Photoshop, Lightroom and Express, which are launched today. There are also Illustrator, Premiere Pro and more apps, which will be launched this summer. In addition, we will continue to work together to optimize the AI experience in these applications to adapt to NPU. Adobe Creative Cloud users can take full advantage of the full performance advantages of Windows 11 AI PC to exert their creativity.
In the video color adjustment software DaVinci Resolve Studio, using Magic Mask driven by NPU, you can easily enhance the visual effects for objects and characters; in CapCut, using the automatic silhouette function driven by NPU, you can remove the background from any video clip with one click. Through the newly introduced NPU-driven camera system in the assistive technology platform Cephable, we can enjoy faster and more sensitive adaptive input control, such as dynamic head movement or facial expressions, to keep the work smooth; in PDF editing software LiquidText, using the local AI function completely driven by NPU, documents can be annotated faster and more intelligently, thus ensuring data privacy In the djay Pro of the DJ tool Algoriddim, you can experience the fun of splitting tracks and remixing tracks with a new generation of high-quality NeuralMix features built specifically for NPU.
Real-time subtitle function provides convenient communication
Real-time subtitles have the function of real-time translation, which can convert the audio transmitted by PC into unified English subtitles and display them in real time on the application display window. Users can automatically translate live or recorded audio (more than 40 languages, including Chinese) on any application or video platform into English subtitles, even when they are offline. With the blessing of NPU, the real-time subtitle function can be implemented on all Windows 11 AI PC.
New enhanced Windows studio effect
With Quick setup, PC can automatically render better picture and sound effects. Portrait lighting effects can automatically adjust the image, improve your perceptual lighting in dark environments, or brighten foreground pixels in darker environments. Three new creative filters (illustration, animation or watercolor) can add to the artistic atmosphere. The eye contact feature can help you maintain eye contact while reading and browsing the screen. The update of voice focus and portrait background blur helps to ensure that the user is always in the focus of the picture.
