Nvidia is no longer content just powering data centers and gaming rigs. Starting next week, the company will have its chips running as the main processors inside Windows PCs for the first time, according to Axios.
The debut is expected to coincide with Computex in Taiwan and Microsoft’s Build conference in San Francisco during the week of June 1. Devices from both Microsoft’s Surface lineup and Dell are confirmed, with other manufacturers potentially joining the launch.
A new front in the chip wars
The new PCs are expected to run on Nvidia’s Arm-based processors, reportedly designated the N1 and N1X. These aren’t just CPUs. They’re designed to integrate CPU, GPU, and AI acceleration into a single package, essentially bringing a scaled-down version of Nvidia’s data center philosophy to your laptop bag.
Supply-chain reports had previously indicated these chips were targeted for launch in Q1 2026 or later, so the timing lines up with what the industry had been expecting.
