Davuluri notes that whatever is coming is “not a new OS version,” so that rules out the potential for Windows 12 to be announced at Microsoft’s Build developer conference next week. Separately, the Windows account on X posted a similar cryptic tweet, promising “a new era of PC” with coordinates pointing to where Computex is hosted in Taipei.
Nvidia is rumored to be about to enter the Windows on Arm market again with its own chips, the N1 and N1X. I wrote yesterday that a partnership between Microsoft and Nvidia on these chips would make a lot of sense, and Microsoft may well be teasing the announcement of Nvidia’s chips and potential Surface hardware to house them in.
And Nvidia is teasing new hardware as well; the company posted about a “new era of PC” on Friday in a post that also included coordinates pointing to Taipei.
We’re bound to find out a lot more during Nvidia’s Computex keynote on Sunday May 31st, followed by Microsoft’s own Build keynote on Tuesday June 2nd. Stay tuned.
Update, May 29th: Added Nvidia’s post.
