Scheduled speakers include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Pavan Damuluri, who leads the Windows and Surface division, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
According to technology media outlet The Verge, the lineup of speakers suggests that NVIDIA's "RTX Spark"—an SoC (System on a Chip) developed for laptops—could be the centerpiece of the event. RTX Spark features 128GB memory, an NVIDIA GPU, and an Arm-based CPU, enabling high-performance AI to run in a local environment.
Microsoft has already introduced the Surface Laptop Ultra equipped with this RTX Spark, so information regarding its sale price and release date may be disclosed during the event. Additionally, while The Verge expects Microsoft to focus on improving Windows quality and future initiatives, they suggest that there will be no announcement regarding Windows 12.
