Nvidia is stepping up its offensive in the PC CPU market beyond GPUs. Attention is focused on what variables it could introduce to a PC CPU market dominated by Intel and AMD.
Nvidia will unveil next week its first Windows PC that uses its own chip as the main processor, Axios reported on May 30 local time.
The Nvidia chip is expected to be a system-on-chip integrating a CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing unit) and NPU (neural processing unit).
According to the report, Nvidia and Microsoft will unveil the results of their cooperation and PCs carrying Nvidia chips at Taiwan's Computex and at Microsoft's annual Build conference in San Francisco.
Microsoft will showcase its own Surface brand, and PC makers including Dell will introduce products equipped with Nvidia chips.
Nvidia started with graphics chips and has long prepared to enter the PC processor market. Nvidia chips were used in a Surface tablet running Windows RT in 2012, but this is the first time Windows PCs will run on Nvidia chips.
Microsoft also plans to unveil software that helps users perform tasks locally on Windows PCs using AI agents. Peter Steinberger (피터 스타인버거), founder of OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent tool, will also hold a separate session at the Build event.
