Intel's chief financial officer David Zinsner recently revealed in an exchange with investors that 2024 will be a year for strong client business. He pointed out that the Windows user base is old and needs to be updated, and next year may be the beginning of this process. This forecast has attracted widespread attention from the industry, and many analysts believe that the "Windows Update" mentioned by Zinsner is most likely to refer to the upcoming Windows 12 release.
It has been reported that Microsoft is actively developing Windows 12, which is expected to be completed in mid-2024 and will be officially released in the fall of that year. This new version of the operating system may be deeply integrated with AI functions to stimulate users' update needs. With the rapid development of AI technology, Windows 12 is expected to bring significant improvements in user experience, security and productivity, thereby driving users to migrate from old versions of systems to new versions.
However, the recent resignation of Panos Panay, head of Windows department, may have some impact on the development process of Windows 12. Panay played an important role in Microsoft's Windows and hardware divisions, and his departure undoubtedly brought some uncertainty to the development of Windows 12. Despite this, Microsoft still has a strong technical team and resources to ensure Windows 12 is released on time and meet users' expectations for a new generation of operating systems.
As 2024 approaches, the release of Windows 12 will become a major focus of the technology industry. It will not only drive Intel's client business growth, but it may also lead a new round of technological innovation in the operating system field. For users, the AI integration and feature upgrade of Windows 12 will bring a more intelligent and convenient experience, which is worth looking forward to.
