Copilot+
PCs represent a cutting-edge category of AI-enhanced Windows 11 devices. In
addition to the CPU and GPU available on conventional computers, Copilot+ PCs
feature high performance neural processing units (NPUs). These NPUs—capable of
executing over 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS)—are designed to handle
demanding AI workloads efficiently, enabling high-performance features such as
real-time language translations. By handling certain AI tasks, the NPU frees up
the CPU and GPU to focus on other operations, resulting in improved overall
system performance and can deliver longer battery life9 due to
optimized power distribution.
The Neural Processing Unit (NPU) embedded in Copilot+ PCs is a chip purpose-built to accelerate AI processes and enable advanced and unique AI experiences.10 NPUs are optimized for low-latency, high-throughput execution with less memory fetching, enabling advanced AI functionality while helping ensure fast-system performance overall and long battery life.9 Core features powered by the NPU on Copilot+ PCs include Live Captions with real-time translation, Click to Do14 that analyzes text or images on your screen and gives intelligent suggestions for the next steps in your workflow, and improved Windows search15 to find documents and settings by describing them, Copilot+ PCs also provide an opportunity for developers to create their own AI models that leverage the NPU by using resources available in Microsoft Foundry on Windows.

Copilot+ PCs are optimized to deliver exceptional AI-powered experiences10 to boost innovation, enhance communication, and increase productivity for both IT staff and employees. Leveraging the performance of high-powered NPUs, these devices offer unique features and tools that cater to a variety of operational needs. While Copilot+ PCs offer unique experiences, they are business-ready and can be securely managed with the same tools and processes used for other Windows 11 Pro PCs. Highlights of Copilot+ PCs features delivered through 2025 that use the NPU include, Click to Do,14 improved Windows search,15 Live Captions with translation,16 and Windows Studio Effects.17 For context, let’s compare a familiar experience. On Windows 11 Pro PCs, you can have a great video call enhanced by features like background blur and live captions for dozens of languages. Copilot+ PCs with their powerful NPUs take that video call to the next level, with features like automatic framing and live translation from 40+ languages into English and from 27 languages into Chinese (Simplified).
While all Windows PCs have a CPU and GPU, Copilot+ PCs add a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of over 40 trillion operations per second. This NPU is purpose-built to accelerate demanding AI workloads, enabling faster performance, longer battery life,9 and new hybrid AI experiences that intelligently distribute tasks between the device and the cloud. Copilot+ PCs feature the most powerful Windows security by default—including Secured-core PC protection and Microsoft Pluton—and can be managed with the same tools as your other Windows 11 Pro PCs.
Copilot+ PC experiences are not available on all Windows 11 Pro PCs and are exclusive to a specialized class of Windows 11 devices that feature advanced system specifications. As the highest-performing Windows PCs available, Copilot+ PCs are designed with advanced hardware capabilities—most notably a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of over 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Features exclusive to Copilot+ PCs include AI-enhanced features such as Click to Do,14 Live Captions with translation,16 Windows Studio Effects,17 and more.
