Sounds like Intel’s and AMD’s Copilot Plus PCs won’t have Copilot AI features at launch

Is Microsoft restricting Windows Copilot+ to their new ARM-powered PCs? Looks that way, according to The Verge:

Will Intel have them within 2024 at least? Neither Intel nor Microsoft would say when we probed. But all three Qualcomm rivals (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) want you to know that other existing AI features already run on their chips, and hundreds more are coming from independent software companies.

I also don’t want to suggest a delay would be a bad thing — in fact, security experts are warning that Microsoft’s new Recall feature, which takes screenshots of everything you do on your computer as a generative AI memory aid, could be a disaster for security. They’re pushing Microsoft to rethink that plan. Microsoft has not answered The Verge’s questions about Recall security yet.

Maybe being first out of the gate isn’t always the best policy?
