Next week’s launches at Computex in Taipei and Microsoft Build in San Francisco are expected to mark the first Windows PCs using Nvidia chips as the main processor, according to Axios.
Surface devices and models from other makers including Dell are expected, extending Nvidia’s push from AI accelerators into Arm-based PC CPUs for Windows.
Microsoft is also expected to unveil software that lets AI agents perform tasks locally on Windows computers, tying the hardware debut to on-device AI features.
The move targets better battery life in Windows laptops, where Qualcomm currently supplies Arm-based chips and Intel and AMD still dominate the broader CPU market.
As Microsoft mandates powerful on-device AI, can Intel and AMD's x86 chips possibly compete with Nvidia's new Arm-based powerhouses?
With Nvidia and Arm challenging the status quo, is the decades-long 'Wintel' dominance in personal computing finally set to crumble?
