Dell’s annual trade show focused on Microsoft’s AI hardware platform, Copilot+ PC. The company also announced the first Xeon-6 servers and new QLC flash storage.
As part of a comprehensive AI initiative, Dell unveiled laptops that align with Microsoft’s new specifications for Copilot+ PCs, powered by Snapdragon X processors. Qualcomm’s System-on-a-Chip family will supply five models from the XPS, Inspiron, and Latitude product lines.
While the XPS 13 and Inspiron 14 Plus laptops with integrated Snapdragon processors are already available for pre-order, the Latitude models, aimed primarily at business customers and professional users, are currently not available. “Copilot+ PCs” is Microsoft’s designation for devices marketed as AI PCs, capable of executing AI functions locally thanks to optimized hardware.

This chip boasts ten cores with a base clock speed of up to 3.4 GHz, along with an integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that delivers 45 TOPS (trillions of operations per second).
