The PC chip market has been dominated by Intel and AMD, which championed the x86 processors. The Nvidia chips will combine GPUs on the Blackwell architecture and the new Arm-based N1X processor, along with 128 gigabytes of unified memory. These are being custom-designed by Taiwan's MediaTek.
The new PC processor will use TSMC's 3-nanometer technology, according to the news report.
Reuters had reported that the efforts to make an ARM-based chip for PCs came as part of a Microsoft-led push.
ARM-based chips are more efficient as they use a simpler set of instructions compared to the x86 processor, which is known more for its raw power and uses a complex set of instructions.
Apple also makes ARM-based processors with its latest M5 chips powering a pricier line of products. The first laptops to come with these new chips will be aimed at gamers and creators and will be as thin as 14 millimetres. (ANI)
