Insiders cite industry figures Quanta founder Barry Lam and Acer CEO Jason Chen. The discussion about the upcoming version of Windows took place during a recent medical conference, where the two leaders delved into the evolution of computing with artificial intelligence capabilities.

Despite the talk, no specific launch date has been confirmed; Chinese media only hinted that it would be released in 2024, without specifying a month.

Barry Lam said Quanta plans to be at the forefront of investing in computers equipped with artificial intelligence. The definition of AI capabilities varies between companies but generally includes processors with built-in AI capabilities, such as Intel’s Meteor Lake, AMD’s Ryzen AI, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite.

Microsoft has long understood the value of artificial intelligence

In particular, Microsoft started to integrate artificial intelligence into its ecosystem with the Copilot feature offered in the Windows 11 2023 update. Copilot, a large language model, currently connects to the cloud rather than relying on local processing.

The development trajectory of Windows 12 remains unclear, as it is not yet clear whether the operating system will maintain this cloud-focused approach or move to the use of artificial intelligence capabilities on individual computers. Users and industry observers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next version of Windows and how it will impact the future of computing.
