Nvidia is reportedly planning on making Arm-based chips for Windows PCs. According to<\/a> Reuters,<\/em> the company has \u201cquietly begun\u201d taking on Intel by designing processors compatible with Microsoft\u2019s operating system. The report says Nvidia could begin selling the chips as early as 2025.<\/p>\n

The move is part of Microsoft\u2019s broader goal of challenging Apple with Arm-based processors for Windows PCs. According to preliminary Q3 data from research firm IDC, the iPhone maker has nearly doubled its market share since launching the Arm-based Apple Silicon<\/a> three years ago. The company\u2019s in-house Mac chips balance<\/a> performance (including on-chip AI tasks) and battery life to a degree that Intel\u2019s processors have yet to match.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When reached via email by Engadget, Nvidia spokesperson Hector Marinez said the company declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Nvidia has recent experience with Arm-based chips, but they\u2019re designed for data centers<\/a>. Nvidia announced plans to buy Arm Holdings in 2020 for $40 billion. However, the company pulled the plug on the deal<\/a> in early 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AMD is also reportedly preparing to launch Arm-based PC chips as early as 2025. The two companies will join Qualcomm, which has made Windows laptop processors<\/a> since 2016. Reuters<\/em> reports that Qualcomm\u2019s exclusivity agreement with Microsoft for Arm-based Windows chip designs will expire in 2024, opening the door to new challengers soon after. Windows on Arm hasn\u2019t exactly<\/a> been a rousing success<\/a> to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrosoft learned from the 90s that they don\u2019t want to be dependent on Intel again, they don\u2019t want to be dependent on a single vendor,\u201d Jay Goldberg, chief executive of consulting firm D2D Advisory, told Reuters<\/em>. \u201cIf Arm really took off in PC (chips), they were never going to let Qualcomm be the sole supplier.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Microsoft (along with much of the tech industry) bets its future on generative AI<\/a>, the upcoming chips will unsurprisingly focus heavily on it. The company has reportedly urged chipmakers to bake advanced AI-powered capabilities into their silicon. Microsoft recently launched<\/a> Windows Copilot, which provides an OpenAI-powered chatbot in a persistent sidebar<\/a> to respond to contextual queries anywhere in Windows.<\/p>\n
