According to a report, Nvidia plans to take on Intel and AMD with a new processor designed for use in consumer computers. The move could see the gaming GPU maker challenge Intel and AMD’s dominance in the PC world, especially when it comes to laptops and AI, but the company’s lack of an x86 license will pose a challenge when it comes to this rumor. Nvidia CPU run PC games and extensive catalog of PC software.

Not only Nvidia does the best graphics card for games right now in the form of RTX 4090but now it is also the most valuable company in the world, thanks to its huge advances in the world of AI. We are waiting for the new one RTX 5000 The range of gaming GPUs will be released in the near future, but apparently Nvidia could release a new range of processors in 2025 as well.

This is the latest report comes from DigiTimes (behind a paywall), which claims Nvidia is working on a new Arm-based processor to directly challenge Intel and AMD, corroborating earlier rumors of an Nvidia Arm PC processor. Nvidia can already make Arm CPUs, of course. If you own a Nintendo Switch, then you already have one in the device’s Tegra chip. Nvidia’s Tegra chips have also made their way into various Android phones and tablets, but until now Windows 10 and 11 on Arm have been exclusive to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips.

That could all change soon, however, as Arm CEO Rene Haas says say that deal will end in 2024, which would open the door for other Arm chipmakers to produce Windows-compatible processors. Not only that, but Arm threatened to cancel Qualcomm’s Arm license recently, which is unlikely to happen, but is still a possibility to consider. There are also rumors about it Qualcomm could buy Intelgiving the former access to an x86 license. Regardless, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X The Windows laptop lineup could soon have a serious challenger if this rumor turns out to be true.

According to her summary from Tom’s Hardware’s DigiTimes report, Nvidia is set to announce its new range of PC processors in September 2025, and March 2026 is then proposed as the date when the new processors ship, or possibly when Nvidia will introduce a range of business and commercial processors. PCs.

Does this mean there will be a new Nvidia PC gaming processor to challenge AMD and Nvidia in the desktop space? This is unlikely for 2025, unless Nvidia pours a lot of resources into porting games to the Arm architecture. Qualcomm has already demonstrated the potential to run games on Arm with its Snapdragon processors in laptops, and Apple has demonstrated the power of well-optimized Arm processors in its own ecosystem.

However, Arm on Windows is still not natively supported by most PC software and games, and desktop processors still need a lot of power to run games at the fastest frame rates. However, Valve’s dedication to SteamOS eventually led to a lot of PC games running on Linux for the Steam Deck, and if one company was going to make PC games on Arm, it would be Nvidia .

In the short term, however, we expect that these first Nvidia PC Arm processors, if they are indeed in the works, will be optimized for AI workloads, where Nvidia already has the upper hand, and laptops, where low-power operation is more importance. than on the desktop.

In the meantime, check us out RTX 5090 guide, where we gather everything we know about the expected new Nvidia gaming GPU, as well as the RTX 5080 guide, who is expected to be its second in command.
