The man in charge of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft hardware is also the man in charge of the company. He says that the future of Windows will be artificial intelligence.
He told an audience at the press conference that Artificial Intelligence is going to change the way you do things on Windows.
The company claims that its new chip is 20 percent faster than the one in Apple's MacBook Pros, and that it is the first x86 chip to have a dedicated artificial intelligence engine.
During the early part of the keynote, it was noted that Apple is going to refresh its laptops with M2 Pro chips, and its existing MacBooks have great battery life. The slide behind Lisa Su stated that the new chips can play 30 hours of video.
Su said that he would use every top on the machine. I am going to attempt. There was laughter during the presentation.
He didn't go into much detail about how Windows could use them, but he did suggest that a PC'sWebcam could add background blur, detect eye contact, and automatically frame someone on a conference call while using far less battery. Natural language models were also named.
It is not compelling by itself, but it is intriguing to think that Microsoft may have bigger plans, especially since x86 chips will be the only ones with onboard artificial intelligence for a long time. They will be included in Intel's Meteor Lake chips, which are due later this year.
We have seen Windows wipe out background noise on a call using the Windows studio effect. Maybe Windows laptops and tablets will be able to do things that Microsoft hasn't been able to do with its Surfaces.
