On Monday, Microsoft will unveil its vision for a new era of the Windows PC, consisting of new
Arm-based silicon from Qualcomm and paired with
next-gen AI experiences that will result in new Windows devices that are always aware of what you’re doing, able to translate languages in real time, improve your webcam with artificial lighting and filters, artificially increase gaming performance, and generate text and images on-device.
This combination of hardware and software is something Microsoft has been working towards since early 2021, after it held an all-hands meeting with leaders across Windows and Surface to discuss just how it was going to respond to Apple Silicon. The company discussed a project called CADMUS, the goals of which were to bring to market a new era of Windows devices that are performant, efficient, and AI capable.
Microsoft has worked very closely with Qualcomm on its new
Snapdragon X chips, resulting in this moment for Windows on Arm that it’s never had before. This next wave of Windows on Arm devices will be the first with true all day battery life and consistent instant wake, without sacrificing on performance. These new chips really do trade blows with Apple Silicon.
