During the quarter 4/2023 earnings call, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon confirmed that the new version of Windows will be released alongside PCs powered by the Snapdragon X Elite chipset in mid-2024.
Previously, there were rumors from Windows Central that Microsoft would launch an AI PC this year, along with a new version of Windows. It is expected that we will see new Surface models using the Snapdragon X Elite chipset, along with the updated Windows operating system.

It is predicted that we will see the new Surface models featuring Germanium first, in the mid-year timeframe. However, other PC users will have to wait for the Hudson Valley update, which is scheduled for release in September-October.
