Multiple Demanding Apps Deserve a Cool, Quiet Laptop

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) and network-heavy CPU workloads are placing additional strains on laptops. While traditional CPU architectures struggle to bridge the performance gap, Arm’s efficient, performant, and secure CPUs are making tomorrow’s use cases possible in Windows on Arm devices and Chromebooks.

The Armv9 architecture comprises PAC and MTE and offers class-leading protection across all devices, while our new Arm CSS for Client lays the foundation to bring on-device generative AI to life.
