Exposure to Microsoft ARM version of Windows 8 will be postponed
At present, multiple messages of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview have been exposed, and the user's attention has been attracted at once. But at present all the points are on the X86 PC/Workstation/Server version, and the Windows on ARM program quietly sends out very few messages.
This time, the source came from a number of people close to Microsoft or Microsoft internal executives, talking about the release schedule of Windows 8. At CES2012, Microsoft banned visitors from launching a tablet with an ARM version of the Windows 8 system, saying it was still in beta and not ready; the same was true at the recently opened Barcelona World Mobile Conference MWC2012.
Previously, Qualcomm has announced that due to process reasons, the high-end quad-core processors such as APQ8094/8074 have been postponed from the summer of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013. As a result, the fastest progress of Windows on ARM is only NVIDIA's Tegra 3, but the company's CEO Huang Renxun claimed that the 28nm process yield was not satisfactory in the earnings conference call, and it was also a bad news for the WoA plan.
ARM is disarmed (dis-arm)
Microsoft previously showed the NVIDIA Tegra 3 platform for Windows 8 tablets, but it is not allowed to play. But don't worry, you won't see it listed until 2013...The most disappointing supporters of the WoA program here, according to BSN sources, including some close to the core departments of Microsoft, said that the x86 processor version of Windows 8 will only be released in the fourth quarter of this year. Windows on ARM will wait at least 12 months before it will be officially unveiled, that is, next year's Barcelona MWC 2013; as for the official listing time, we can only expect the second quarter of 2013 to be about May-June.
In addition, regarding Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 Consumer Preview, BSN said that Microsoft plans to have two versions: the first has a 180-day trial period, and after the end of the summer, it can get a 90-day extension to support Windows. 8 is officially released; the second version of the trial time is as long as one year, giving users enough days to enjoy for free.
The biggest winner? Intel and AMD
The most happy thing about this situation is that Intel and AMD: ARM competitors are at least half a year behind schedule - after the release of Windows 8 PC version, they have to wait six months. Intel has a new Medfield platform Atom processor, AMD is based on the improved version of Bobcat's Fusion APU, the first to grab the market will be x86 version of the Windows 8 tablet, so it seems that Wintel - or x86 processor + Windows still It is the standard bearer of Microsoft, including the field of mobile devices.
2012: The Year of Google Android?
Competitors will not wait for the pace of Windows on ARM, Win8's main enemy Android is expected to have evolved to 5.0 Jelly Bean version, and Apple's iOS may also launch 6.x. For the next twelve months, let us wait and see what will happen.
The new LOGO for Windows 8 is clean and tidy. And the prospect of Windows on ARM is equally "clean" until mid-2013...
