So a more advanced and feature rich version of Ryzen's IO die, with dedicated silicon for AI of course.
Can't wait for Microsoft and Intel to team together to make an ultra AI search bar that can finally find files properly like back in Windows 7...

I don’t think that quality is ever coming back. No matter what, they’re going to be connecting to bing for the top results / ads, so you’ll always have a bunch of latency and will never get back to Win 7 levels of local only performance.
It’s sad and the AI, which is mostly useless based on my experience, is going to suck up even more CPU cycles and add even more latency.
For me, it takes 5 seconds for the start search to respond on first use. My 12th gen i5 with NVMe storage and Win 11 literally runs worse than my 4th gen i7 with a first gen SSD and Win 7.
Microsoft has usurped a decade of computing gains and spent them on ads and tracking. Don’t expect anything that benefits the user in the near future.
Fortunately there's a truly excellent third-party utility that is probably the second thing I install on any new Windows install (after Chrome): https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/
Look at how WinGet was launched with just enough effort to kill AppGet. It was a big announcement that was the equivalent of “avoid this space or we’ll crush you” and then what? Nothing innovative has happened since they killed the innovator (AppGet).
My desktop now has 24 cores (8P/16E) and now is the right time to rethink the OS.
Microsoft is definitely doing this, but they're putting all the effort into making it into an attention-stealing ad delivery platform.
For me it just there to make sure my PC boots - get's regular patches for security issues and not corrupt my file storage and play sound/videos.
The bulk of time is spent inside a JetBrains IDE/Visual Studio Code/Chrome - my interaction with the OS is just launching programs and hitting the shutdown button and Windows 11 is just great at that.
For a work OS, I want sane OOTB defaults, or a "disable all of this" option in the initial setup. These settings should be respected and not overridden in an update.
I could carry nothing forward from my old PC.
It's not built in, but it exists:
Searching for setting screens is also a pain in the ass, especially if you use different language. MS recognizes only their own translation, not the most intuitive text, not English text ... you just have to know
Or you could use literally any other search program that works wonderfully, without the indexing process using an eyebrow raising amount of CPU? Including Microsoft's own shockingly fast file search in VSCode.
> feature rich version of Ryzen's IO die
The interconnect Intel is using is more expensive/sophisticated than AMD's (but less expensive than the TSVs for the X3D chips), so hopefully its pretty good in laptops?
AMD's IO die setup burns tons of idle power, which is why the laptop parts are still monolithic.
Finding a local file with an already known name is nigh-impossible with the current Windows search.
