AMD Ryzen AI 300 Laptops To Receive Free Microsoft Copilot+ Update In November

AMD has announced that its Ryzen AI 300 laptops will be receiving the much-awaited Microsoft Copilot+ updates in November.

AMD's Ryzen AI 300 laptops launched in July and the first devices started seeing availability in the weeks ahead. The Ryzen AI 300 laptops feature the highest number of AI TOPS on an NPU with its 55 TOPS rating on the HP Omnibook Ultra design. These NPUs are designed to tackle various tasks that are related to AI workloads and almost all modern SoCs are integrating a dedicated NPU inside their chips.

To better utilize these dedicated AI NPUs, Microsoft launched its Copilot+ "AI PC" platform but this new update was only available on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X CPUs at the start. Microsoft did state that they will roll out this update to other platforms including AMD's Ryzen AI 300 and Intel's Lunar Lake and today, the company has finally announced that this Copilot+ update will be rolled out for free on AMD & Intel devices that are compliant with the Copilot+ requirements.

Today, in partnership with Microsoft, AMD announced new Copilot+ PCs powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, the most powerful AI engine to date, will be available via a free Windows update in November 2024.

Engineered for security and multi-day battery life, these Ryzen AI-based PCs complement the hybrid AI network from edge to cloud, tapping on the power of localized computing to reach new levels of personalized performance, with experiences that are intrinsically private. And all this in a robust platform that is compatible with a true software ecosystem comprised of millions of apps.

With 50 TOPS of AI performance, the Microsoft Copilot+ PC powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors are the gateway to this transformational new era for consumers and businesses everywhere. Additional details are available on the recently published AMD blog here and Microsoft blog here.
