A Windows 10 May 2020 Update, also known as Windows 10 (2004), will be available to consumers by the end of this month. Along with preparing for the release of the major update, Microsoft has updated its documentation, highlighting the requirements for PC processors to install the new version of the software platform.
The main innovation concerns support for the AMD Ryzen 4000 series processors. As for Intel processors, support for tenth-generation chips (Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9-10xxx), Intel Xeon E-22xx, Intel Atom (J4xxx/J5xxx and N4xxx/N5xxx), as well as Celeron and Pentium, has been reported.
The updated list from Microsoft also includes single-chip systems Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 and Snapdragon 8cx. At the same time, it is noteworthy that newer Snapdragon 7c and Snapdragon 8c chips are absent. Most likely, the new chips were mistakenly not included in the list of supported devices, and Microsoft will correct this later.
It is worth noting that on the 'Windows Processor Requirements' page, developers specify which versions of the software platform have been optimized to work with the new processors. Clearly, there are already computers on the market with Ryzen 4000 and Snapdragon 7c processors running Windows 10 (1909). In fact, the only requirement for a processor to install Windows 10 is the ability to operate at a frequency of at least 1 GHz, as well as support for SSE2, NX, and PAE.
It is worth reminding that the widely available Windows 10 May 2020 Update will be accessible to users on May 28, and developers already the update through MSDN.
