Nvidia is positioning itself to disrupt Intel's stronghold in the personal computer (PC) industry. It is by quietly designing central processing units (CPUs) that run Microsoft's Windows operating system, leveraging technology from Arm Holdings.
Reuters reported that this strategic move is part of Microsoft's broader initiative to enable chip companies to develop Arm-based processors for Windows PCs.
The goal is to compete with Apple, which has experienced significant growth in market share since introducing its Arm-based chips for Mac computers.
Nvidia's Ambitious Move into the PC Market; AMD and Qualcomm Join the Race
Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Qualcomm are also planning to manufacture PC chips with Arm technology. Bloomberg pointed out. Industry insiders suggest these companies could start selling their Arm-based PC chips by 2025.
Qualcomm, in particular, has been producing Arm-based laptop chips since 2016 and aims to unveil more details about its flagship chip at an upcoming event attended by Microsoft executives.
Intel, which has long dominated the PC market, now faces mounting pressure from Apple. The custom chips developed by Apple have significantly improved Mac computers' battery life and performance compared to rival chips that consume more power.
Microsoft executives have taken note of Apple's efficient Arm-based chips, including their capabilities in AI processing, and seek similar performance for Windows devices.
Microsoft's Encouragement to Enter the Market
Having previously granted Qualcomm exclusive rights to develop Windows-compatible chips until 2024, Microsoft plans to open up the market once the exclusivity deal expires. This move aims to foster increased competition and innovation among chipmakers.
Microsoft has also advocated for integrating advanced AI features into the CPUs designed by Nvidia, AMD, and others. The company envisions AI-enhanced software, such as its Copilot, becoming an integral part of the Windows experience.
The news of Nvidia's plans had a noticeable impact on the stock market, with Nvidia shares closing up 3.84% and Intel shares down 3.06% after Reuters reported on the development.
