Intel and Microsoft may be working on setting standards for new dual-screen devices

We are anxious to know the new devices that Microsoft could be working on, because the fiasco of their mobile phones still stings The rumors They have been appearing on the front pages of all media for some time, either through leaks, statements or patents. And now a new report has appeared that puts the development of this type of device on the table.

Centaurus, is the name by which we already identified what may be one of the possible new Microsoft devices.Smartphone or tablet, apparently it would sport a screen that would allow its use as a 2-in-1 device similar to a model from the Surface range. And Microsoft is apparently working with Intel, for the development of standards that should serve as the basis for the development of this new range.

Intel and Microsoft

It seems that in Microsoft the future goes through double screens (we don't know if they are flexible) and in this sense the report appears in the appearing associated Microsoft and Intel. Both technological giants aim to establish standards for dual-screen devices that run under Windows or whatever the operating system for that purpose is finally called.

Microsoft Centaurus is one of the different names by which we know a project that was initially called Andromeda.Many months have passed since then and we have seen concept art and sketches, but nothing from an official source.

For now we only have possible specifications based on rumors. As far as specifications are concerned, rumors point to the use of a Lakefield Intel processor with 10-nanometer architecture. It would mount two 9-inch screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio and offer LTE or 5G connectivity under the new Windows Core OS. These are data that they claim come from the supply chain. It has even been mentioned how it could work with Android applications.

We don't know if Microsoft is really working on a dual-screen device, it's still unknown, but all the rumors point to that direction. And apparently we will have to wait until 2020 to have more data on it
