Microsoft is preparing to upgrade its Surface laptop lineup during the current year 2024. This is a major focus on improving artificial intelligence capabilities by integrating special chips with the processor.
Microsoft launches new generations of its laptops with time gaps of a few years, and although it will launch improvements in 2023, expectations indicate a major shift in 2024.
According to a report by Windows Central, sources from Microsoft have told that there will be a significant improvement in the AI capabilities of the upcoming Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 devices in the new year 2024.
The sources explained that the new devices will come with a next-generation neural processing unit (NPU) integrated alongside the main processor, which this year will be from Qualcomm for the first time after all the series came with Intel processors.
The report added that the aforementioned Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 devices, which will come in 2024, will be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon Advanced.
Windows Central reports that these computers, codenamed CADMUS, will be designed to run artificial intelligence features that Microsoft will previously develop and integrate into its Windows operating system, specifically for Surface devices.
It also indicates that Microsoft has not given its all in harnessing the capabilities of generative AI, and that despite the great progress the company has achieved, it still has greater ambitions to control this interesting field, especially after developing advanced tools such as GPT-4 that can Perform tasks with unprecedented ease and accuracy.
The company believes that relying on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon
The report also confirms that Microsoft will continue to launch Surface devices with Intel processors in the year 2024, but it wants to differentiate the two devices, the Surface Pro 10 and Laptop 6, with Qualcomm processors and provide a better experience using advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
