A small leak from Microsoft through the company’s job offers revealed particularly interesting details about what lies ahead with Windows 12. It’s clear that Redmond is looking to develop its own ARM chips. The strategy is not a coincidence, as Apple has always been stronger in the PC market with its M2 and soon M3 processors.
Given the recent data on Windows 11 adoption, you probably haven’t installed the latest operating system from Microsoft yet. This does not prevent the company from working hard on his successor. In fact, Windows 12 has been repeatedly talked about before. What is new in this matter is that Microsoft can revolutionize the PC market to some extent.
To implement this revolution, the manufacturer had formed a special team called Silicon Team. You probably already understood what this name is about: perhaps Microsoft is looking to develop its own in-house chip. The theory is also confirmed by several job offers, spotted by Windows Latest, who couldn’t be more explicit about it.

“The candidate will be responsible for building a complex, state-of-the-art chip using leading silicon nodes,” Microsoft wrote in one of those presentations. Furthermore, the company details that the engineer who will be responsible for “creating chip programming models, will be appointed with complete and clear performance requirements.”

Of course, this new venture does not come out of nowhere. Microsoft, for its part, intends to impose itself on the hardware part, but also on the software, in particular through the comprehensive integration of artificial intelligence into its operating system.
