Next-gen Copilot+ PCs Offer Access to
Powerful, New AI Experience
Connection (PC Connection, Inc.; NASDAQ: CNXN), a leading
information technology solutions provider to business, government,
healthcare, and education markets, is pleased to announce the
company has been selected to work with Microsoft, Qualcomm, and
other leading OEM partners to launch Copilot+ PCs, a new generation
of Windows-based devices designed for AI workloads.
Copilot+ PCs, powered by all-new system architecture and
on-board Neural Processing Units (NPUs), deliver a user experience
that is 100x more efficient for AI workloads than previous
generation PCs. Featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and
Snapdragon X Plus processors on Arm64 architecture, the first
Copilot+ PCs—including Microsoft Surface devices and offerings from
OEM partners, Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung—are
scheduled for launch in June 2024.
Tim McGrath, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We’re
excited to put Copilot+ PCs in the hands of customers who want to
empower their workforces and realize the incredible productivity
benefits of AI. Incorporating next-gen devices, industry-leading
apps, and advanced AI models into day-to-day workflows delivers a
user experience unlike any other. This represents a new era for the
PC, and Connection is ready to help our customers make the most of
this exciting opportunity to drive growth, productivity, and
competitive advantage.”
Jamal Khan, Chief Growth and Innovation Officer at Connection
and Head of the company’s Helix Center for Applied AI and Robotics
said, “It’s difficult to overstate the potential impact of embedded
AI devices on workforce productivity. We’re witnessing truly
impressive engineering feats across CPU, GPU, and NPU—with silicon
capable of delivering 40+ trillion operations per second. Providing
secure access to advanced AI models, including world-class SLMs, at
the press of a button is a milestone in computing history. The
Helix team at Connection has been working closely with our partners
to prepare customers for this shift. Our in-house experts have
developed a portfolio of advisory services to help organizations
make the most of these transformational technologies—including
embedded AI devices—and align their IT investments with strategic
priorities and business goals.”
