Nvidia CEO Declares That PCs Are About to Get Their First ‘Reinvention’ in 40 Years — Here’s What’s Changing
The world’s most valuable company is entering the PC chip market, partnering with Microsoft to reimagine the computer for AI.
Nvidia has become the most valuable company in the world by making the chips that power AI in data centers. Now it’s coming for your PC.
At Computex on Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a new PC processor built with Microsoft that will power a fresh line of Windows laptops from Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo and MSI starting this fall, according to CNBC. The chip, called the N1X and built into a new RTX Spark superchip, marks Nvidia’s biggest push yet into territory long dominated by Intel, AMD and Apple.
“Microsoft and Nvidia are going to reinvent the PC,” Huang said, comparing it to when the phone became a smartphone. “This is the first completely re-engineered, reinvented line of PCs that has happened in 40 years.”
The new chip uses Arm-based architecture, the same power-efficient design that powers iPhones, instead of the x86 chips Intel and AMD have made for decades. Nvidia says it’s built for AI agents and roughly 1.8 times faster than current chips.
