NVIDIA’s ARM-based “AI PC” chips are expected to debut on the market in September 2025, with commercial production set to begin in 2026 as Team Green eyes new markets to monopolize.
NVIDIA’s AI PC Chip Ambitions Still Very Active, As Company Collaborates With MediaTek Potentially Disrupts PC Market
Yes, rumors surrounding NVIDIA’s in-house developed PC chips have been circulating in the industry for some time, and anticipation for the SoC has been quite high, given the need for innovation in the modern PC chip market, especially since then. existing solutions haven’t managed to capture mass consumer attention, so that’s likely what NVIDIA will target. Now, according to a report from DigiTimes, NVIDIA’s PC AI chips are on track to hit the market, as the company is said to be targeting a launch window of 2025-2026, with proprietary CPU and GPU platforms slated to debut.
Previous industry rumors indicated that NVIDIA was reportedly working with MediaTek for its PC ambitions, and the latter company has experience in chip design via its “Dimensity” mobile platform. The report states that Team Green plans to introduce a “standalone” ARM-focused CPU and GPU solution, likely using it for a variety of business applications, such as consumer and client segments, but for now, NVIDIA’s plans remain uncertain.
It’s pretty clear that NVIDIA has been looking for an entry into the custom chip business for some time, and considering that the company’s “Tegra” solution has been doing quite well, it would be wrong to say that NVIDIA doesn’t have one. the right experience. Tegra’s SoC, along with its reputation in the AI business, will undoubtedly enhance the company’s PC chip solutions, and considering how modern CPU manufacturers are lazing around with their products in the industry, NVIDIA has the optimal opportunity and timing. couldn’t get much better.
In terms of rumored specs, the NVIDIA x MediaTek PC SoC is said to feature TSMC’s 3nm process, and will be a breakthrough in terms of performance, considering that with Team Green’s next-gen iGPU solution, as well as MediaTek’s expertise in chip design, it’s inevitable that we’ll see a quality end product, that may compete directly with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC, or even next-gen solutions from AMD and Intel.
Now that we know the likely launch date, likely in the second half of 2025, it will be interesting to see what impact NVIDIA’s chips will have on existing competition or whether they will be able to catch the attention of consumers. Most likely, this launch will cause disruption.
