Nvidia has quietly begun designing central processing units (CPUs) that would run Microsoft’s Windows operating system and use technology from Arm Holdings, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The report further discloses that NVIDIA is not alone in its pursuit of ARM technology for PCs. Their primary rival in the discrete GPU market, AMD, is also exploring such solutions, as corroborated by other sources cited by Reuters. This was also reported by SemiAccurate earlier.

No surprise really. Sort of surprised they didn't do this sooner. Will be really interesting to see what comes from this.

AMD was working on an ARM based cpu along side of Zen. But they ended up not finishing it. So i can see building on that old design like that have with Zen. Or using some of what they learned in the past to build something new.

 

If the new Snapdragon X elite slides are to be trusted than they already have some real competition.

Completly forgot about it but the Nvidia Tegra was an arm cpu. And was on top and still is i think one of the best tv box.

 

If they can make a decent Chromebook with those chip. Oled 1440p Vulkan support. Maybe Windows would get a real competitor.

 

The lenovo Duet 5 was my favorite tablet. Just too big somewhat. OS support till 2031.
