Windows 11’s new ‘AI Explorer’ feature appears to only work on Snapdragon X Elite

Recently, a foreign user @thebookisclosed shared the AI ​​Explorer information he extracted from Windows 11 build 261000 (24H2 RTM) on And “Snapdragon X Elite NPU (HWID QCOM0D0A)”:

Everyone thinks this should be a potential system requirement for AI Explorer. If so, that means you’ll need an ARM device with Snapdragon X Elite to use the latest version of AI Explorer on Windows 11. All computers currently on the market.

Qualcomm has the opportunity to increase the purchasing appeal of Windows devices on Arm, but this is a big drawback for the feature itself, even if performance and performance are important.

Microsoft has previously promised to launch Windows AI applications using NPU on Windows on Arm.

Currently, Microsoft’s Windows Studio Effects is applied to NPU notebooks, and some functions of the NPU driver have been released, mainly for video and audio effects, and the reviews are said to be very good.
