Copilot+ PC
The AI that runs inside the machine
Copilot+ PC is the Microsoft programme for computers that carry a neural engine fast enough to run AI features on the device instead of sending the work to a server. It is a hardware threshold, not a subscription: what makes it work is the silicon.
What the neural engine changes
A dedicated NPU takes AI work off the processor and the graphics. That single change is what makes the four things below true at the same time.
It works with no connection
Inference happens on the device. The AI features behave the same on a fast network as with none at all — which is what a school with no connectivity actually needs.
What it processes never leaves
Nothing is uploaded to be analysed. For a public-sector or banking deployment, that is the difference between a feature that passes review and one that does not.
It costs a fraction of the battery
The NPU handles those workloads at a fraction of the power the CPU would draw for the same task, so autonomy holds up through the working day.
The processor stays free
CPU and graphics are not competing with the AI workload, so the machine stays responsive for the task the person is actually doing.
The processors that reach it
Three families clear the 40 TOPS bar today. Liby builds on two of them, and the figures below are the ones published for the specific parts we ship.
Intel® Core™ Ultra 200V series
The Lunar Lake architecture puts CPU, graphics and neural engine on one die built on a 3-nanometre process. AI work is scheduled on the NPU, so the other two engines stay available.
- Neural engine
- NPU, 40 TOPS
- Graphics
- Integrated, 52 TOPS of AI throughput
- Platform total
- 97 TOPS
- Process node
- 3 nm
- In Liby devices
- Core™ Ultra 5 236V · Core™ Ultra 5 226V
AMD Ryzen™ AI
The Ryzen AI parts pair a 50 TOPS neural engine with integrated Radeon™ graphics. On the Max+ tier the memory is unified, so a large share of it can be assigned to graphics for models that will not fit otherwise.
- Neural engine
- NPU, 50 TOPS
- Graphics
- Integrated AMD Radeon™
- Unified memory
- Up to 128 GB LPDDR5x, up to 96 GB assignable to graphics
- In Liby devices
- Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 · Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395
Liby devices with a neural engine
Two lists, and the difference between them matters: certification is a Microsoft programme, a dedicated NPU is a feature of the processor. A device can have the second without the first.
Certified Copilot+ PC
Ships with the certification stated on its datasheet.
With a dedicated neural engine
Carry an NPU and run supported Windows 11 Pro AI features on the device. Their datasheets state the neural engine, not the Copilot+ PC certification.
