conference.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The day before the start of Microsoft's annual Build conference, the tech 
giant is holding a major news conference and TechRadar is on the ground in 
Washington to bring you the latest news as it breaks. 

There's been almost no hint of what is being prepped for announcement, so 
I'll be hearing the news for the first time myself right along with you, and 
while the event will not be live-streamed, I'll make sure to keep you posted 
on everything that Microsoft announces as I hear it. 

The big guess ahead of Build has been that Microsoft's heavy focus on AI will 
lean into the slew of new processors hitting the market from Intel, AMD, and 
Qualcomm, with the latter's Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chips 
giving a lot of people hope that Windows on Arm could finally be getting a 
real shot in the, well, arm. I couldn't help that one, sorry. 

But it's also likely that, since this is a developer conference, we're going 
to see a lot of chatter about Microsoft Copilot. This might include new tools 
and features, deeper ChatGPT integration, and more along those lines. 

Of course, the real wildcard would be Windows 12 , but I highly doubt that 
we're there yet, but we'll see soon enough. (Image credit: Future / John

Here we go, folks! This is John, live from Microsoft's Redmond campus in 
Washington state, where the venerable tech giant is holding a special event 
ahead of its annual Microsoft Build conference. We're all expecting some 
exciting stuff from the event, so stay tuned as I bring you everything I see 
and hear over the next hour. 

We're underway now as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella takes the stage. I can tell 
you right now, given the number of Qualcomm folks I've seen around here and 
how the Copilot logo is plastered all over the campus, it's not really a 
mystery that this event is going to be heavily weighted towards Microsoft's 
gargantuan AI ambitions and that Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips are going to 
play a pretty big role in Microsoft's Surface device plans.
