A user has managed to bypass Microsoft's Copilot+ PC and NPU stringent requirements and get Windows Recall to work on Arm64 hardware. However, the user experience is laggy and slow, demonstrating the need for a powerful NPU.

At least this means desktop computer users who have a good GPU can get everything that a modern laptop user can. An Nvidia 4090 has over 1000 more TOPS than the best NPU on the market.

I'm hoping someone test recall and other CoPilot+ features tested on AMDs r5 8600g and r7 8700g. I know that their NPUs don't meet the 40 TOPS standard they should give some performance boost.

Edit: Just remembered that CoPilot + is only available on the ARMS version of Windows at the moment. So never mind. Will have to wait until the fall to see what these APUs can do.
