Your favorite tech company is actually working on a native Arm64 version of Visual Studio 2022 and also a miniature Arm PC. It’s important to know that a preview version of an Arm native version of Visual Studio 2022 will be available in the next few weeks. Microsoft also stated that the above-mentioned software is expected to ship fully later this year alongside Arm64 .NET support.
Microsoft promises full ARM64 support for Visual Studio
Until now, ARM devices have been totally able to run Visual Studio through x64 emulation, although some of the features haven’t received support. Now, everyone is focusing on native Arm support for Visual Studio 2022 and VS Code, and the Redmond tech company is creating an Arm-native toolchain. Support for this includes full Visual Studio 2022 & VS Code, Visual C++, Modern .NET 6 and Java, Classic .NET Framework, Windows Terminal, and WSL and WSA for running Linux and Android apps. Furthermore, Microsoft has partnered with Qualcomm to create an Arm-powered developer device, which is called Project Volterra. Panos Panay This new mini-PC actually uses a Snapdragon processor and a neural processing unit (NPU) to allow developers to build cloud-native AI apps. It has a stackable design so developers can stack multiple Project Volterra PCs on their desks or inside server racks if they purchase multiple units. There has to be some sort of mystery around this new project, so Microsoft isn’t revealing the exact specs just yet. From what we can observe, Project Volterra does have three USB ports at the rear, alongside a DisplayPort and Ethernet port. There are also two USB-C ports at the side of the device, and the device is manufactured from recycled ocean plastic. What are your thoughts on these latest Microsoft projects?
