The 16GB memory requirement of the new version of Windows 11 AI system has attracted heated discussion, but it is probably just a recommended configuration.

Recently, a report by TrendForce stated that,Microsoft has set the memory baseline for AIPC to 16GB.Some media said,This also means that the AI ​​functions of the new version of Windows 11 require at least 16GB of memory to run. After the news was exposed, it sparked heated discussions.Microsoft has yet to make an official comment on the memory requirements mentioned above. 16GB of memory is likely just Microsoft's recommended configuration, not the minimum configuration requirement.

The new version of Dell XPS is one of the new generation AIPC equipped with NPU. It is equipped with Intel Core Ultra processor and has a new dedicated AICopilot key, but it still only has 8GB of memory in its specification sheet.

When Microsoft initially released the Windows 11 system, it encountered a lot of resistance and criticism due to the minimum hardware requirements. WC believes thatMicrosoft may recommend 16GB of memory to run the AI ​​functions of the new version of Windows 11, but it will still support some old computers with low configurations.

It is expected to bring a more advanced Copilot artificial intelligence assistant and enhance Windows UX to improve productivity across applications, searches, etc.
