Intel and Microsoft Preparing for Windows 12 Release

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/03/2023 10:11 AM | source: theverge | 95 comment(s)

According to leaked information by @leaf_hobby, Intel's new Meteor Lake desktop platform is ready to support Windows 12, the upcoming operating system from Microsoft.

Other companies like AMD are also producing hardware to make the new software emerge, and Microsoft is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into Windows 12 to enhance its capabilities. It has been claimed that Intel has discussed Windows 12 compatibility with its next-generation CPUs internally. The tweet has been deleted, however rumored is that Meteor Lake will support Windows 12 and have 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes. Intel was approached to comment on the leak, but the corporation declined. Microsoft also remained silent when asked about rumors that Intel would soon begin supporting Windows 12.

The commitment to AI-powered algorithms is not disclosed, but the update for W11 already allows the integration of ChatGPT with Bing within the platform. With the new generation CPUs, Windows 12 is expected to function perfectly. Although no official announcement has been made yet, we can expect to see the new software in action next year.

W12 already? Surely W10 is the last windows you'll ever install! I'm still thinking about going to 11 from 10 and some of my PCs are happy with 7s. I feel like updates are pointless. Worse UI, more bloat, more built in spyware. No thanks!

It will arrive late 2024. Microsoft intended to get back to the 3 years development cycle again. Still, we got time before we get there.
Windows 11 is not that bad as you suggest. They improved it since first released.

I also note that AMD is the first to implement AI engine within CPU (in the x86 world i mean), beating Intel to the run for Windows 12 "compatibility". There's no doubt that Intel is working to integrate an "AI tile" to their first chiplet CPU for that "compatibility" being worked on.
But i doubt there is anything really mandatory on that side, Windows 11 supported hardware should easily be compatible with the next OS.

I'm feeling no need to switch to Win11, so maybe it would be all the same to update straight to Win12. Assuming some kind of AI acceleration chip in the CPU is not mandatory.

I've actually liked using W11 with WSL sure it might have had some issues in the beginning. But anyway interesting to see how 12 turns out. Will ugrade most likely anyways.

2000 - Bad

What do you mean by "2000 - Bad"?

PS And before 2000 there were NT 3 and 4.

Since people think that:

95 - Bad
98 - Good
2000 - Bad
XP - Good
Vista - Bad
7 - Good
8 - Bad
10 - Good
11 - Bad

then MS knows that they'll think:

12 - Good

Windows 98 good? Seriously, this was, by far, the worst OS I have ever used. A buggy, unfinished, constantly crashing, price of crap.
I can't talk about Win95, as I didn't use it. But I remember a friend who upgraded from 95 to 98, and he was constantly saying it was a mistake.

Windows 2000 bad? At the time, it was one of the most stable OSes MS ever released. It was a bit heavier than the 9X kernel OS, but a very good OS.

And XP wasn't a good OS. It took until SP2 to become the great OS we still remember.
