AI-first Windows 12 could prompt hardware upgrades in 2026

Rumors suggest Windows 12 could arrive in late 2026 as an AI-centric OS that may require CPUs with dedicated neural processing units (NPUs) and high performance (around 40 TOPS), potentially forcing hardware upgrades and possibly introducing subscription pricing. The codename Hudson Valley Next and a modular CorePC architecture are cited, with broader Copilot enhancements including Gaming Copilot; a free Home upgrade is hinted at, but details remain to be confirmed.

Investing in a Fast CPU: Worthwhile Upgrade

The article discusses the value of keeping old CPUs versus upgrading to faster ones, emphasizing that older hardware can still be powerful and sufficient for many tasks. It argues that investing in high-performance CPUs offers long-term benefits, especially for developers, by reducing compile times and maintaining productivity, but also cautions about increased power consumption and costs. The piece highlights that incremental hardware improvements can significantly impact work efficiency over time, and that companies often underinvest in developer hardware, which can be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Apple Watch to Receive Major CPU Upgrade in Next Generation

The next-generation Apple Watch is expected to receive a major CPU upgrade, with a new processor based on the same architecture used in Apple's newer A15 chip, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new chip could potentially provide a boost in battery life and speed. The design of the watch is not expected to change much, but a revamped watchOS software with a new user interface centered on iOS-style widgets is expected. Keeping the processor relatively unchanged for several years allows newer watchOS to run equally well on several generations of watch hardware.
