Intel's Chief Financial Officer, David Zinsner, recently revealed in a conversation with investors that 2024 is shaping up to be a quite promising year for the client business due to updates to Windows. He noted that the aging user base of Windows necessitates an upgrade cycle, which might begin as early as next year. Analysts speculate that Zinsner's reference to "Windows updates" is likely pointing to Windows 12. Previous reports have indicated that Windows 12 is in development and is expected to be completed by mid-2024, with a formal release slated for the fall of the same year. Windows 12 may integrate AI features to stimulate user upgrade demands. However, the recent departure of Panos Panay, head of the Windows division, could potentially impact the development timeline of Windows 12.
