Apple's transition to its custom Silicon did wonders for the company's Mac lineup. Since its debut, the M-series of chips have delivered performance and efficiency greater than some of the major contenders. According to the latest, Microsoft also wants to step into the custom silicon business. A new report suggests that the company is working on its custom ARM chips with Windows 12 also being optimized to work alongside the hardware for maximum efficiency. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.
Microsoft designing custom ARM chips with optimized Windows 12 for enhanced performance and battery life gains, similar to Apple
According to a report published by Windows Latest, Microsoft is working on its custom ARM chips while optimizing Windows 12 to work hand in hand with the hardware. The company posted multiple job listings that highlight the company's plans for the future, The job listings include Principal System on Chip Silicon Architect, Principal Design Engineer, Senior Physical Design Verification Engineer, and a Senior Silicon Power Integrity CAD Mgr. As per the listings, the company is looking to design new chips with performance and efficiency as its main elements.
The listings are assorted under the company's "Microsoft Silicon Team" and came to light by the end of last month. In the description of the postings, the company states that the employees will be at the "leading edge of computing" and working with various "cross-functional groups to deliver high-performance and innovative silicon SOC". According to the report, Microsoft is looking to better compete against Apple with its custom AR chips.
Apple's chips are clocked in a way that compliments the software. With the M-series chips and macOS optimized, users get the best performance and battery life on a MacBook. It also provides more control over the hardware when it comes to performance and power efficiency. Currently, Apple is working on its M3 chip which will be fabricated on TSMC's 3nm architecture. The report also highlights that Microsoft is building Windows 12 with optimizations designed for custom silicon. 
Windows 12 is expected to be released sometime next year with a boatload of features that would take advantage of Microsoft's custom chips. The next-gen operating system could potentially take advantage of the custom ARM chip concerning AI-centric features. Take note that it is too early to conclude as the final word rests with Microsoft. Furthermore, Apple is well ahead in the game when it comes to custom chips and the company is gearing up to launch the third-gen chip based on 3nm architecture. We are expecting higher performance gains and enhanced battery life with the M3 chip.
This is all there is to it, folks. We will keep you guys updated on the latest as soon as further details are available. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
