The October event could also provide more information about the availability of Microsoft's new hardware. Microsoft has yet to announce pricing or release dates for the Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, which were introduced earlier this year. Nvidia, meanwhile, has said that the first Windows PCs powered by RTX Spark will begin arriving in October.

The company, however, is not expected to announce Windows 12 or anything associated with its next-generation PC operating system. It had previously been clarified that Windows 12 was not on the table, following speculation around the new hardware.

Microsoft, notably, announced the Surface Laptop Ultra in June, describing it as its most powerful Surface laptop to date. The laptop is powered by Nvidia's new RTX Spark platform, which combines a Grace CPU with Blackwell RTX graphics. The RTX Spark platform can be configured with up to 128GB of unified memory and is capable of delivering up to one petaflop of AI compute.

Microsoft has also previously showcased the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. It is a compact desktop aimed at developers working with local AI models. Like the Surface Laptop Ultra, it uses Nvidia RTX Spark and offers up to 128GB of unified memory and up to one petaflop of AI compute.
