Prior to the release of the fresh Windows 10 May 2019 Update, Microsoft traditionally updates the processor requirements. Now it features Windows 10 1903, also known as the May update.
In terms of hardware, nothing has changed. The operating system still supports Intel processors up to the ninth generation, Intel Xeon E-21xx, Atom J4xxx/J5xxx, Atom N4xxx/N5xxx, Celeron, Pentium, AMD 7th generation processors (A-Series Ax-9xxx & E-Series Ex-9xxx and FX-9xxx), Athlon 2xx, Ryzen 3/5/7 2xxx, Opteron, EPYC 7xxx, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 850. However, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx is notably absent. This model may appear after the release of Windows 10 19H2 in October-November.
But this is not the only missing link. It has been reported that AMD Ryzen 3000 processors are also not listed, though it is possible that this is a simple typo. Neowin has already reached out to AMD for comments, but no response has yet been received.
Notably, the server chips like Xeon, AMD Operon, and AMD EPYC are still supported only for Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise. By the way, the missing ARM processor Snapdragon 8cx is expected to operate specifically in the enterprise segment, so its mention is anticipated particularly in the context of Enterprise.
No requirements are specified for Windows 10 IoT Core version 1903, but Windows 10 IoT Enterprise SAC 1903 exists, and it lists the same processor requirements as the full version of Windows.
