Intel’s 200V series processors, revealed today, include a powerful neural processing unit (NPU) that supports up to 48 TOPS (tera operations per second) for locally processed AI models and tools. With up to 32GB of onboard memory, the 200V is “the most efficient x86 processor ever,” according to Intel, with 50 percent lower on-package power consumption.

Microsoft’s Windows and devices lead, Pavan Davuluri, confirmed that Intel’s new chips will support Copilot+. “All designs featuring Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors and running the latest version of Windows are eligible to receive Copilot+ PC features as a free update starting in November,” Davuluri said onstage at Intel’s IFA launch event in Germany.
