AI chipmaker Nvidia NVDA.O and Microsoft MSFT.O are expected to launch the first Windows PCs with Nvidia chips as the main processor next week, Axios reported Saturday, citing sources.
Computers with Nvidia chips are expected to be offered by both Microsoft’s Surface brand and other computer makers, including Dell DELL.N. Microsoft’s efforts to move to more energy-efficient chips have yet to result in a significant sales boom. Its main rival, Apple, which uses its own chips, unveiled updated MacBooks in March equipped with its latest M5 series chips.
Microsoft and Nvidia will unveil these new PCs at the Computex trade show in Taiwan and Microsoft’s Build developer conference in San Francisco, according to the report. Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft declined to comment.
The official It was Reuters which was the first to reveal Nvidia’s plans in 2023 to design processors capable of running Microsoft’s Windows operating system and using Arm technology.
Qualcomm QCOM.O currently makes processors based on Arm technology for Windows laptops, while Intel INTC.O and AMD AMD.O remain the main suppliers of processors for these devices.
According to the Axios report, Microsoft is also expected to release software aimed at allowing AI agents to perform tasks locally on Windows computers.
