  Likely Windows ARM. It should prove to be a stout upgrade to the units MS currently uses in their ARM laptops.

  FTA: "If the product hits the market, Samsung would become the first modern Windows laptop manufacturer to launch its own processor that works as the brain in its machines." That doesn't actually tell you what OS they're using, and it could just be the journalist trying to indicate how Samsung is the first at what Apple already did. But Windows 10 does run on ARM as long as you're willing to use "modern" apps only. I suppose this won't be a machine developers will be excited by, as excited as some of us want to be.

Windows 10 for ARM have always had x86 emulation and they've recently extended it with x64 support: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/12/10/introducing-x64-emulation-in-preview-for-windows-10-on-arm-pcs-to-the-windows-insider-program/ https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/12/10/introdu...

  MS failed in the mobile market and didn't bother to prepare ARM version of Windows and now Apple will be enjoying the desktop/notebook market with Wintel having at least 5 years of catch up to do.
