INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Recall is the most high-profile feature in the release Microsoft is starting to roll out today, but there are a few other changes in it for
One is a new version of Windows' Search function, which "can understand the contextual meaning of words or phrases, making search more
natural and intuitive." This natural-language search can be used in the Search box in the Taskbar, in File Explorer, and in the Settings
rewrite on-screen text (you can invoke it by pressing the Windows key and then clicking, hence Click to Do).Copilot+ PCs have specific
hardware requirements beyond the ones necessary to run Windows 11
The most significant is the requirement for a neural processing unit (NPU) that can process more than 40 trillion operations per second
The NPU enables more processing of AI and machine learning models on-device so that these features can work more quickly and without sending
sensitive personal information to Microsoft's servers.The only consumer processors that currently support Copilot+ are Qualcomm's Snapdragon
X Elite and Plus chips, Intel's Core Ultra 200V-series laptop chips (codenamed Lunar Lake), and AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series
Copilot+ features have generally been coming to the Arm-based Qualcomm PCs first and to x86-based Intel and AMD PCs later; Recall and the
improved Search are available for both Arm and x86 PCs, while some Click to Do features are currently only available for Arm systems.
