During Computex, AMD made its presence felt. With the new Ryzen AI chips, AMD also officially stepped into the Copilot Plus era. Under the motto “what Qualcomm can do, we can do better,” AMD put the limit of its chips at 50 TOPS. Intel’s response was not soon forthcoming in this week’s IFA trade show, it finally launched the Core Ultra Series 2, Lunar Lake for its friends, resulting in a cartload of laptop announcements. Intel claims its chip can tap up to 120 TOPS, 48 TOPS of which can be directly attributed to the NPU.

Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge

One name, three variants: 14-inch, 16-inch and, recently, 15-inch. The smallest variant weighs barely 1.16 kg and measures 10.9 mm at its thinnest point.

This device is also immediately the last of its series, as Samsung already kicked off the new Edge Book 5 generation during IFA. Credit is due to Intel with the Galaxy Book Pro 360.

MSI

Last but not least: MSI. The manufacturer does not seem to be hot on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X, but does jump right on board with AMD. Shortly after AMD’s announcement, MSI launched four new laptop models: Stealth A16+, Summit A16+, Prestige A16+, and Creator A16 AI+. During IFA, as for many of the aforementioned brands, a wave of Intel Core Ultra Series 2 models followed in the Prestige and Summit lines.

The Prestige series laptops with Intel Core Ultra 2 are available in three sizes: 13, 14 and 16 inches. The Summit 13 AI+ Evo is the only Copilot+ model within its series.
