Recall captures screenshots of user activities, facilitating easy search and memory recall. It also introduces “Click to Do,” allowing AI-powered actions on recognized text and images from snapshots. Currently, this feature supports Qualcomm-powered PCs, with plans to extend support to Intel and AMD systems.
New Products

Equipped with the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ processor capable of 45 trillion operations per second, it offers enhanced productivity and creativity. The device features a 1440p Quad HD front-facing camera, supports 5G connectivity, and includes integrated storage and wireless charging for the Surface Slim Pen (2nd Edition).
- Data Center Infrastructure Chips: To bolster AI applications and data security, Microsoft has introduced two proprietary data center infrastructure chips. The Azure Integrated HSM enhances server security by securely managing encryption data, while a new data processing unit (DPU) consolidates multiple server components into a single chip, focusing on cloud storage with improved power efficiency and performance.
These developments underscore Microsoft’s commitment to integrating advanced AI capabilities into its products and services, enhancing user experience and productivity across its ecosystem.
