In fact, it doesn&apos;t even need an NPU.

One thing that&apos;s worth noting is that Copilot+ only works on Arm-based processors at the moment, so x86 owners will have to wait for a while or do some serious coding magic themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Recall, like all of Microsoft&apos;s AI tools, relies on the DirectML API to act as the software bridge between the application and hardware drivers, just like games use Direct3D or Vulkan to get GPUs to draw pretty graphics.
