Microsoft teases new Surface hardware and ‘a new era of PC’

微软预告全新 Surface 硬件及“PC 新时代”

The teasers point to Computex and Build announcements next week. 这些预告指向了下周即将举行的台北国际电脑展(Computex)和微软开发者大会(Build)。

I pondered the other day what’s next for Microsoft’s Surface PC lineup, and it looks like we’re about to find out. Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri has just teased “something new is coming for developers,” complete with a mysterious image of what looks like a curved display edge. 前几天我还在思考微软 Surface PC 产品线的未来,现在看来我们很快就能揭晓答案了。Windows 和 Surface 部门负责人 Pavan Davuluri 刚刚预告称“将有面向开发者的新品问世”,并附上了一张神秘的图片,看起来像是显示屏的弧形边缘。

Davuluri notes that whatever is coming is “not a new OS version,” so that rules out the potential for Windows 12 to be announced at Microsoft’s Build developer conference next week. Separately, the Windows account on X posted a similar cryptic tweet, promising “a new era of PC” with coordinates pointing to where Computex is hosted in Taipei. Davuluri 指出,即将发布的内容“并非新版操作系统”,因此排除了下周在微软 Build 开发者大会上发布 Windows 12 的可能性。另外,Windows 的 X(原 Twitter)账号也发布了一条类似的神秘推文,承诺将开启“PC 新时代”,并附上了指向台北国际电脑展举办地的坐标。

Nvidia is rumored to be about to enter the Windows on Arm market again with its own chips, the N1 and N1X. I wrote yesterday that a partnership between Microsoft and Nvidia on these chips would make a lot of sense, and Microsoft may well be teasing the announcement of Nvidia’s chips and potential Surface hardware to house them in. 有传言称,英伟达(Nvidia)即将凭借其自研的 N1 和 N1X 芯片重返 Windows on Arm 市场。我昨天曾写道,微软与英伟达在这些芯片上的合作将非常有意义,而微软此次预告的可能正是英伟达芯片的发布,以及搭载这些芯片的潜在 Surface 硬件。

And Nvidia is teasing new hardware as well; the company posted about a “new era of PC” on Friday in a post that also included coordinates pointing to Taipei. 英伟达也在预告新硬件;该公司周五发布了一篇关于“PC 新时代”的推文,其中同样包含了指向台北的坐标。

We’re bound to find out a lot more during Nvidia’s Computex keynote on Sunday May 31st, followed by Microsoft’s own Build keynote on Tuesday June 2nd. Stay tuned. 我们定能在 5 月 31 日(周日)英伟达的 Computex 主题演讲,以及 6 月 2 日(周二)微软的 Build 主题演讲中了解到更多信息。敬请期待。
