Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters. Note that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, even without overclocking. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Information on Microsoft SQ1 and Processor N95 compatibility with other computer components: motherboard (look for socket type), power supply unit (look for power consumption) etc. These parameters indirectly say of CPU speed, though for more precise assessment you have to consider their test results. The source says that an AI-driven smart snap window arranging tool seen in Windows 11 is an example of something that could be standard in 12.Microsoft SQ1 and Processor N95 basic parameters such as number of cores, number of threads, base frequency and turbo boost clock, lithography, cache size and multiplier lock state. Moreover, the built-in AI acceleration in modern processors will give utilities we have already seen in Windows 11 a smart boost. As part of the Windows Core project, version 12 should be more modular and customizable for different form factors - which will be further boosted by good Arm optimization. It says that Windows 12 has a targeted release date of late 2024. Windows Latest shared some nuggets regarding the new OS from Microsoft that are interesting enough to relay here.

Windows 12 development was supposed to have started in earnest this March, and we have seen Intel Meteor Lake chips being prepared with Windows 12 support. Windows 12 is still very much an unknown but news of it has been cropping up more frequently in recent months. The first Snapdragon with Nuvia cores is expected to be the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 Processor, and should emerge near year-end. These chips are based on contemporary Snapdragon 8CX designs, so when the Nuvia chips arrive, Microsoft might have a parallel SQ model taking advantage of the newer cores. The SQ series Arm processors, which are custom designed for Surface portable devices, are collaboratively designed with Qualcomm doing most of the heavy lifting.
