Hi folks
I think next Windows version (e.g Windows 12) will need this type of hardware to run it on !

What's the reason you think it would be necessary to use a huge mainframe computer in order to use Windows 12 in future?
Any arguments?

Power requirements for sophisticated AI. Current Data centres are already straining the electricity supply grid in some places -- more consumption by far than by Electric Cars. !!
