Microsoft is reportedly working on developing its own silicon aimed at competing with Apple Silicon and it optimizing its next OS for it. A report by Windows Latest (via Tom's Hardware) states that Microsoft is reportedly in the process of expanding a team to internally develop a new ARM-based CPU. The report also notes how the timing for this is happening alongside the upcoming release of Windows 12.

From Windows Latest:

"These developments coincide with the upcoming launch of Windows 12, which has a special version optimized for silicon and designed to leverage AI capabilities. The job listings (most of them have now been taken down) describe positions related to custom silicon accelerators, System on Chips (SoCs), and high-performance, high-bandwidth designs."
