> It's just a regular PC with Windows Copilot... which is a standard Windows feature anyway.

"AI PC" branded devices get "Copilot+" and additional crap that comes with that due to the NPU. Despite desktops having GPUs with up to 50x more TOPs than the requirement, they don't get all that for some reason https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/copilot-pc/323616/microsoft-...

Is Microsoft trying to help NPU chip makers?

When is Wintel going to finally happen?

Microsoft has roughly $102 billion in cash (+ short-term investments). Intel’s market value is approximately $176 billion.

I've never really understood why Microsoft helped Intel's bottom line over decades.

With Azure, Microsoft has even more reason to buy Intel.
