Qualcomm CEO, Cristiano Amon, has confirmed during the Q4 2023 earnings call that the new version of Windows will be released alongside PCs equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite chip in the mid-2024. This news comes after previous rumors from Windows Central, which stated that Microsoft will unveil an AI PC this year, accompanied by a new version of Windows.
The upcoming Surface models are expected to feature the Snapdragon X Elite chip, along with the updated Windows operating system. The operating system will be divided into two separate updates: the core operating system, code-named Germanium, and the feature set, code-named Hudson Valley.
It is anticipated that the new Surface models will debut with Germanium first in the mid-year, while other PC users will have to wait for the Hudson Valley update, which is expected to roll out between September and October.
TLDR: Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon has confirmed that the new version of Windows will be released alongside Snapdragon X Elite-equipped PCs in mid-2024. Surface models are expected to debut with the Germanium update, while other PCs will receive the Hudson Valley update later in the year.
