Microsoft committed to ARM platform, new stuff on the way

JMH · Aug 9, 2013

It's been a bad week for Windows RT. But Microsoft told CNET that it's still committed -- to ARM.

On Thursday, Nvidia's CEO suggested that RT -- which runs on its Tegra ARM chips -- is hurting its bottom line, and then a report surfaced Friday saying that Asus was exiting the RT tablet business.

That's not deterring Microsoft's commitment to ARM. "Windows remains committed to the ARM platform," a Microsoft spokesman told CNET.

And more ARM devices are on the way. "We are looking forward to new ARM-based Windows devices that will launch later this year," the spokesman added.

This follows comments that Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang made to CNET on Thursday. Huang said Nvidia is "working really hard" on the second-generation Surface.
