The race for AI supremacy heats up as Intel and AMD CPUs miss out on Copilot+ at launch. Microsoft's AI won't be available for the first wave of laptops with Lunar Lake and Ryzen AI processors. While AMD Ryzen AI laptops have been announced, Intel Lunar Lake laptops are set to arrive in the third quarter of 2024. Asus has already set a date for the release of their Ryzen AI laptops, but the Brazilian market will have to wait. Microsoft confirms that Copilot+ features will be available through a free update for both Intel and AMD AI PCs, with no specific timeline provided. Meanwhile, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series processors will have Copilot+ from the get-go, potentially hinting at a strategic partnership between Microsoft and Qualcomm. The AI arms race continues as Blackmagic Design integrates Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite processor into DaVinci Resolve 19, promising enhanced AI capabilities for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs. This powerful integration aims to revolutionize video editing by leveraging the Neural AI Engine for faster performance speeds and improved efficiency. Video editing professionals can now download DaVinci Resolve 19 beta 3 to experience over 100 new upgrades and AI-driven enhancements. To fully utilize these features, users will need Windows 11 for ARM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor, setting the stage for a new era of AI-powered creativity.
