Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system, which will feature a "never seen before unified interface," is going to be the default platform of the company's upcoming lineup of smartphones and tablets. And according to the latest information, the upcoming slates and smartphones are going to be powered by octa-core processors.
The assimilation of these octa-core processors have not been confirmed by the tech giant, but according to leaks on the Microsoft session for the upcoming Game Developer Conference, the upcoming mobile devices will be equipped with the latest mobile processing firepower that chipset manufacturing companies can roll out. More information will be available regarding these mobile devices at the GDC 2015, which is going to be held in San Francisco on March 2.
64-bit capable octa-core processors are already being incorporated into the latest iteration of Android smartphones so it would make sense for Microsoft to start upping the competition. Currently, the Windows Mobile OS only occupies 2.9 percent of the mobile operating system market, while the Android OS is currently holding its supremacy with a percentage figure of 84.4 percent (reports are according to the statistical data released in the third quarter of 2014).
However, when desktop figures are concerned, Microsoft's Windows 7 is currently heading the pack with a market share of 44.71 percent. However, with support for the platform likely to end soon to pave the way for the company's refined operating system, both smartphones and desktop computers will be able to benefit from using the unified interface of Windows 10.
Microsoft currently has not stated any details regarding its future lineup of smartphones but it is expected that they will be armed with none other than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset.
