Key Highlights:
- Intel’s Hint at 2024: David Zinser drops major “refresh” hints pointing to a potential Windows 12 launch! ๐๏ธ๐คซ
- AI-Powered Features?: Microsoft might be leaning into generative AI, promising an upgraded user experience for the next Windows. ๐ง ๐
- Pay-to-Play Model?: While rumors of a subscription-based Windows 12 got squashed, we’re still on the lookout for premium add-ons! ๐ณ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Let’s face it โ the tech world is aflutter with whispers and speculation regarding the potential launch of Windows 12. With Intel dropping subtle hints, can we genuinely expect the unveiling of a new operating system in 2024?
Intel’s Nudge Towards 2024: A Sign? ๐ง
Remember that juicy tidbit from Intel’s Chief Financial Officer, David Zinser? Chatting it up at the Citi 2023 Global Technology Conference, he made an intriguing remark:
“We actually think ’24 is going to be a stellar year for client, chiefly due to the Windows refresh. Given the aging installed base that surely needs rejuvenation, the upcoming year seems ripe for this catalyst. So, color us hopeful for 2024.”
Hold on a minute, though! ๐ Although Zinser didn’t blurt out “Windows 12” explicitly, he did drop the magic word: “refresh”. Now, for those with a memory sharper than a tack, similar “refresh” phrases popped up back in 2021, when they hinted at a new Windows edition.
Does that ring a bell? ๐ It does seem to nudge us closer to the idea that Windows 12 could be real and waiting in the wings.
Windows 12 Features: AI in the Driver’s Seat? ๐ค
The skinny on Windows 12’s features? They’re scantier than a needle in a haystack. However, a little birdie (read: industry grapevine) tells us that Microsoft might be cozying up to generative AI, giving users a smoother, smarter experience.
What’s even more tantalizing? The potential tie-up with the latest AI tech in Intel and AMD CPUs. Fasten your seat belts; we might be in for a whirlwind digital ride!

Subscription-Based OS: Fact or Fiction? ๐ฐ
Here’s the million-dollar question: Will Windows 12 have us reaching into our pockets on a regular basis? Rumors about a “subscription-based” model were making the rounds, but as of now, that balloon’s been popped.
But hey, don’t put away that wallet just yet! ๐ธ With the ever-evolving tech landscape, it wouldn’t be a stretch to expect some snazzy “extra” features at a premium.
After all, who knows what tricks Microsoft has up its sleeve?
