Microsoft is committed to AI for PCs.
The company is announcing a new category of computers and software at an event this afternoon, with Yahoo Finance's Dan Halley at Microsoft headquarters.
He knows more about the news.
I've been running around here a lot lately.
Dan, what struck you about today's announcement?
Yeah.
right.
Julie, we're here at Microsoft's newest campus in Redmond.
Obviously, I can see them behind me talking about the new era of P CS.
Basically, the gist of what they're doing is a new refresh, or I think it's an error in the PCS, but they're going to run Microsoft's CoPilot on all Windows and power the chip. It was to announce something. Qualcomm, Intel, and among them the head of MD, but Qualcomm is mentioned the most here, in addition to opening up Copilot and adding AI to General P It opens up some kind of exciting battle line. The whole computer situation, uh, Microsoft and Apple are back to square one again.
So, as part of the event, Microsoft basically said that in terms of battery life, performance, and sustained performance, these PCS can become Macbook airs with the latest M3 chips. It was.
And they wanted to hammer that point home right now in terms of co-pilot integration. He is currently running an open AI GP T 40 as part of his co-pilot role.
This allows users to do things like have Copilot look directly at their screen.
So let's say you're running a demo.
They showed a game called Minecraft.
When you ask how to make a sword in Minecraft, your co-pilot will look at what's on the screen and tell you exactly how to complete that test.
now.
Granted, most people don't play Minecraft on their computers.
Um, I'm going to play other games, but other people are going to do things like use uh office or maybe Adobe's uh apps.
So they say it's going to be integrated as well.
They use the Minecraft example because it was visually appealing to them.
So the bottom line here is that Microsoft, uh, you know, PC CS went through a two-year downturn where shipments just went down, uh, and they just went up for the first time in two years. So now we're looking forward to recovery and starting a whole new cycle in this AI PC era led by Co-Pilot and P. They call it CS.
Some of these chips are made by Qualcomm Intel and A MD.
