Chip giant Intel to lay off 235 employees in 5th job cut round this year
San Francisco: Chip-maker Intel has teased a “Windows refresh” for 2024, reportedly preparing its Meteor Lake desktop platform for a next generation of Windows likely to be called Windows 12 amid AI push. During the recent Citi’s analyst conference, Intel CFO David Zinsner discussed a Windows refresh next year, reports The Verge.
“We actually think 2024 is going to be a pretty good year for client, in particular because of the Windows refresh,” Zinsner was quoted as saying.
“We still think that the install base is pretty old, and does require a refresh. We think next year may be the start of that given the Windows catalyst,” he added.
The company last month previewed the next generation of Intel Xeon processors, revealing that 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors will bring a combination of performance improvements and faster memory, while using the same amount of power, to the world’s data centres when they launch on December 14.
