Copilot+ PCs require a 40 TOPS NPU. NPU chipsets are entirely new, so no existing laptop or desktop has them.
There is no evidence that the AI features actually need that capability, and I doubt it.
Also, many laptop GPUs can already deliver around 40 TOPS or more but only NPUs will be supported. So this will lead to forced obsolescence of perfectly good hardware on a huge scale.
