Intel and Microsoft seem to be hinting at Windows 12

As we approach 2021, rumors surrounding the possible release of a new version of Windows by Intel and Microsoft have spread like wildfire. Intel’s CEO Bob Swan has reportedly made public remarks hinting that a new version of Windows, rumored to be Windows 12, is in the works. Microsoft’s president, Brad Smith, also made a statement that further stoked speculation about the release of a new version of the popular operating system.

The speculation surrounding Windows 12 started after Intel announced its collaboration with Microsoft in the transition of its processor technology from the “x86” architecture to the new “x64” architecture. The transition is expected to allow Intel to more easily develop and produce powerful processors for desktop and laptop as well as smartphones. This shift also paves the way for potential new features for Windows users.

The rumors have made some consumers restless as they anticipate the emergence of Windows 12. While no official announcement from Intel or Microsoft has been made, both companies have been hinting at a potential new version of the operating system. Intel’s CEO Bob Swan spoke about the potential for Windows 12 at his latest earnings call, noting that there was “tremendous anticipation in the market and the industry” around a possible new version of Windows. Microsoft’s president Brad Smith added fuel to the fire when he stated that the company was “actively engaged in conversations with Intel around the development of Windows 12.”

With the transition to x64 looming, the rumors surrounding Windows 12 are likely to only intensify. While there is still some uncertainty and no solid timeline has been set for a possible release date, Intel and Microsoft’s hints on the topic might indicate that we could see a new major version of Windows sometime soon. With the potential for new features, better performance, and improved compatibility, Windows 12 could be a revolutionary operating system for Windows users. Until any further announcements are made, however, consumers must wait with great anticipation.
