will dominate Intel in 2024. This is in any case what Dave Zinsner, CFO of Intel, said at the Citi 2023 Global Technology Conference on September 6, 2023, the transcript of which is available online .
In front of an audience of analysts, the financial director of the Californian company was very enthusiastic about the coming year and for the sales of Meteor Lake, its fifteenth generation of processors. “ We actually think 2024 will be a good year for customers, especially because of Windows Update “, he explains. And to continue: “We still think the installed base is quite old and in need of a refresh, and we think next year may be the starting point for that refresh, given the Windows catalyst“.
Of course, the name of Windows 12 is not directly mentioned, but “Windows update» should not be a simple biannual update to encourage the public to buy processors. Added to the proliferation of leaks about Windows 12, it seems that Intel is talking about the future major update of Microsoft’s OS here.
The Windows 11 reminder
As if to confirm this, Dave Zinsner recalls that Alder Lake was an important component at its launch.

Meteor Lake is already shaping up to be a pivotal generation for Intel and it would not be surprising if to take full advantage of it, Windows 12 is a prerequisite.
