Jensen Huang is about to do something Nvidia has never done before: put its chips at the center of a Windows PC.
The Nvidia CEO announced a three-year partnership with Microsoft to, in his words, reinvent the personal computer. The collaboration is expected to revolve around a new Arm-based platform that would position Nvidia as a direct competitor to Intel and AMD in the consumer PC processor market for the first time.
The N1X platform and what it means
At the heart of this partnership is the anticipated N1X Arm-based platform. If it delivers on the hype, it would represent the first Windows PCs equipped with Nvidia chips serving as the primary processor, not just the graphics card bolted onto someone else’s motherboard.
On May 29, 2026, both Nvidia and Microsoft posted identical messages on social media declaring “A new era of PC,” along with coordinates pointing to the Taipei Music Center. That’s where Huang is set to deliver his keynote at GTC Taipei on June 1, 2026. Arm also joined in the coordinated teasing, suggesting this isn’t just a two-company affair but a broader ecosystem play.
