Nvidia may be about to catch up with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm in providing CPUs (central processing units) for PCs running Microsoft’s Windows operating system. A new report from Reuters confirms that Nvidia is designing CPUs using Arm technology.
The report reveals Nvidia’s first Arm-based CPU THEY SEE could launch in 2025. AMD is also designing Arm-based processors and could launch around the same time as N’s CPUs THEY SEE
In 2016, Microsoft announced an agreement with Qualcomm to develop Arm-based CPUs running Windows 10. Qualcomm has an exclusive agreement to produce CPUs based on Arm technology for Windows PCs until 2024.
That may be the reason why both Nvidia and AMD, which previously produced GPUs (graphics processors) for Windows PCs, want to use Arm technology to enter the PC CPU manufacturing industry by 2025. While AMD already produces CPUs based on x86 for PCs for decades, Nvidia is a new face in this field.
The efforts of Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm could have a major impact on the PC industry, where Intel has long dominated and is under increasing competitive pressure from Apple. Apple’s custom chips have given Mac computers better battery life and higher performance.
According to Reuters, executives at Microsoft have noticed how efficient Apple’s Arm-based chips are, including the ability to handle AI (artificial intelligence), and Microsoft wants to achieve that efficiency. similar capacity.
Microsoft encourages relevant chip manufacturers to integrate advanced AI features into the CPUs they are designing. The company believes that AI-enhanced software like Copilot will become an increasingly important part of Windows usage. To make that happen, upcoming chips from Nvidia, AMD, and others will need to invest more resources. Intel has also brought AI features to its chips and recently unveiled a laptop that runs ChatGPT-like features directly on the device
