As we’ve learned recently, Arm shifting their attention on the PC market and it seems that NVIDIA wants to catch this big wave too. If the rumors are true, NVIDIA, a titan in the graphics processing world, is reportedly working on a new generation processor that could redefine the boundaries of computing as we know it.
What are the rumors about the new NVIDIA SoC?
This rumored processor is said to be a powerhouse, combining ARM’s latest Cortex X5 cores with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge Blackwell GPU. But that’s not all; it’s also expected to feature LPDDR6 memory, which could significantly boost its performance. The tech community is on the edge of their seats, wondering how this chip could change the game, especially for AI PCs. The processor is rumored to be crafted using Intel’s 3nm process technology, a detail that suggests NVIDIA is not holding back on ensuring this chip is at the cutting edge of technology.
What makes this rumor even more intriguing is the potential collaboration between NVIDIA and MediaTek, hinting at a processor that could find its way into a variety of devices, from next-gen gaming handhelds to AI-driven PCs. This move could place NVIDIA in direct competition with Qualcomm, especially in the Windows on ARM space, where Qualcomm has been a dominant player. The thought of NVIDIA stepping into this arena with a processor that could potentially outperform Qualcomm’s offerings is certainly something to get excited about.
NVIDIA is no stranger to the SoC business, having developed its Tegra series for over a decade. The company’s experience and success with the Nintendo Switch, powered by the Tegra X1 processor, demonstrate its capability to innovate and deliver high-performance chips. However, the rumored processor seems to be a leap into a new direction, focusing more on AI and high-performance computing rather than gaming consoles.
The anticipation for this processor is palpable, with potential implications for laptops, tablets, and even AI PCs. It’s a bold move that could see NVIDIA heating up the battle for AI chips, but as AI wave is on the rise, we can see a place for everyone on the market.
In the meantime, let’s remember that NVIDIA is also working on the new SFF ecosystem that might also be leading to a new console-like device.
However, we remind you to take this information with a grain of salt because right now it’s just a rumor and until we get any official information, we can’t put a finger on anything.
What do you think about such a new SoC from NVIDIA? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.
