NewCopilot+ PCsperformance details just dropped.
TheCopilot+ PC performance details webpagehas been around for months, but it only discussed Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs until recently.
The ASUS Zenbook S 14 delivered respectable benchmarks, which is promising for future PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors.
It now shows details about Copilot+ PCs with Intel and AMD chips as well.
Microsoft has an uphill battle when it comes to selling Copilot+ PCs.
But even the best Arm PC is still an Arm PC.
The ASUS Zenbook S 14 is among the first Copilot+ PCs to run on a processor not from Qualcomm.
Our first impressions of theASUS Zenbook S 14were positive.
That PC runs on anIntel Core Ultra Series 2 processor.
In 2025 we’ll see many more Copilot+ PCs running on Intel or AMD processors.
Google Chrome is one of many big-name apps to now have native Arm versions.
Those devices should help the Copilot+ PC platform grow.
Since those systems run Windows 11 on Arm, some apps will not run natively.
The vast majority of those have not been recompiled to run natively on Arm PCs.
While that number may seem staggering, many people use a relatively short list of core apps.
Heck, I know people that literally only use their web net online gate and Office.

And as mentioned above, there are some apps that don’t work on Windows on Arm at all.
That later round of testing also allowed Microsoft to stack Copilot+ PCs against MacBooks running macOS Sequoia.
Notably, the comparisons stack Copilot+ PCs against M3 MacBooks since M4 MacBooks did not ship until November 2024.
