Wow, what a week it’s been for news.
And that event certainly made news, though not in the way Microsoft likely wanted.
The news came abruptly and just two days before the Surface and AI event.

Microsoft did not announce those two devices during its Surface and AI event.
Its 12th Gen Intel processor is a bit older now, but it’s still enough for everyday computing.

Those processors will be vital as AI continues to become more mainstream.
This week’s news focused on Intel’s new architecture, not specific chips.
