Microsoft demands an NPU capable of at least 40 trillion operations per second.

    So, they’re demanding chips that don’t exist to support a feature that no one wants?

      The new Snapdragon X Pro and Elite chips support it, but they’re the only ones currently and those devices are just launching now

    The problem for Intel and AMD is that none of their current-generation chips come anywhere close to meeting this requirement

    lol

    the NPU will handle all of this processing locally, allowing user data to stay “private, local, and secure on just the device.” On a Copilot+ PC with the minimum 256GB SSD, Microsoft says Recall will take up about 25GB of disk space and store around three months’ worth of events.

    I haven’t upgraded to win11 and I’ll leave it to the last moment. However I have also had a go at running LLMs locally and I think the concept of Recall is pretty cool.

      The concept or using excessive amounts of electricity to power Microsofts latest effort at further monetisation is pretty cool to you?

      The idea that Microsoft would ever allow user data to stay local after the absolute spyware that is W11 is beyond laughable.
