Microsoft Touts AI-Capable Surface Notebooks 58% Faster Than M3 MacBook Air: 'We Have Essentially The Best Specs,' Says Satya Nadella
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella spoke about the company's new AI-powered PCs, designed to outperform Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) MacBooks.
微軟公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）首席執行官薩蒂亞·納德拉談到了該公司新推出的基於人工智能的個人電腦，旨在跑贏蘋果公司。”s（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL）MacBooks。
What Happened: The new Copilot+ PCs, which are equipped with Qualcomm chips have been completely re-engineered for AI. The AI capabilities of these new devices are made possible by new chips and AI software that can perform tasks without an internet connection. This is a significant shift from traditional cloud-based AI processing, reported The Wall Street Journal.
發生了什麼：配備高通芯片的新款Copilot+電腦已經完全針對人工智能進行了重新設計。這些新設備的人工智能功能是由新的芯片和人工智能軟件實現的，它們可以在沒有互聯網連接的情況下執行任務。據《華爾街日報》報道，這是與傳統的基於雲的人工智能處理相比的重大轉變。
These AI PCs are equipped with a neural processing unit or NPU in addition to the CPU and GPU. The NPU is essential for running AI applications and is a new addition to the Copilot+ PCs.
除了CPU和GPU外，這些人工智能電腦還配備了神經處理單元或NPU。NPU 對於運行 AI 應用程序至關重要，是 Copilot+ 電腦的新增功能。
Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X series chips, based on ARM architecture, are optimized for Windows and offer impressive battery life. Nadella believes that these ARM-based chips make the Copilot+ PCs a strong competitor to Apple's MacBooks.
高通公司基於ARM架構的新款Snapdragon X系列芯片針對Windows進行了優化，並提供了令人印象深刻的電池壽命。納德拉認爲，這些基於ARM的芯片使Copilot+ PC成爲蘋果MacBook的有力競爭對手。
"We finally feel we have a very competitive product between Surface Pro and the Surface laptops. We have essentially the best specs when it comes to ARM-based silicon and performance or the NPU performance," Nadella stated. Microsoft also says that the new Surfaces are 58% faster than the MacBook Air with M3 and have a 20% longer battery life.
“我們終於感覺到我們在Surface Pro和Surface筆記本電腦之間有一款極具競爭力的產品。在基於 ARM 的芯片和性能或 NPU 性能方面，我們的規格基本上是最好的，” 納德拉說。微軟還表示，新款Surfaces比搭載M3的MacBook Air快58％，電池壽命延長了20％。

Why It Matters: In 2020, Apple initiated using their proprietary custom-designed chips in Mac computers, replacing those manufactured by Intel Corporation. Apple's custom chips are Arm-based and closely resemble the A-series chips used in iPhones and iPads, distinguishing them significantly from the Intel chips previously used in Macs.
爲何重要：2020年，蘋果開始在Mac電腦中使用其專有的定製設計芯片，取代英特爾公司製造的芯片。蘋果的定製芯片基於ARM，與iPhone和iPad中使用的A系列芯片非常相似，這使它們與以前在Mac上使用的英特爾芯片有顯著的區別。
The transition was completed in 2023 when the technology behemoth unveiled a new Mac Pro with Apple silicon. Currently, none of Apple's Macs incorporate Intel chips, signifying the complete elimination of Intel chip technology from their product lineup
過渡於2023年完成，當時這家科技巨頭推出了一款搭載蘋果芯片的新款Mac Pro。目前，蘋果的Mac均未採用英特爾芯片，這意味着英特爾芯片技術已從其產品陣容中完全淘汰
Last month, it was reported that Apple is gearing up to revamp its entire Mac lineup with a new set of in-house processors specifically crafted to showcase AI capabilities.
上個月，有報道稱，蘋果正準備用一套專爲展示人工智能功能而設計的新內部處理器來改造其整個Mac產品線。
