Microsoft and Nvidia Collaborate to Launch First Windows Computers Featuring Nvidia Processors

Kathmandu – Artificial intelligence chip manufacturer Nvidia and technology giant Microsoft are set to release new Windows computers next week. According to the US media outlet Axios, these new computers will, for the first time, use Nvidia’s chips as the primary processor (CPU). These Nvidia-powered devices will be available under Microsoft’s own ‘Surface’ brand as well as from other established PC manufacturers like Dell.

Nvidia has been working on developing ARM-based processors capable of running the Microsoft Windows operating system since 2023. Currently, Qualcomm provides ARM-based processors for Windows laptops, while Intel and AMD dominate the traditional computer market. This partnership is strategically significant for Microsoft, particularly in competing with Apple.

The new computers will be officially unveiled at the ‘Computex’ trade show in Taiwan and the Microsoft ‘Build’ developer conference in San Francisco. Official social media posts from Windows, Nvidia, and ARM companies have already hinted at a ‘new era of PCs’ from Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. Additionally, Microsoft is expected to include advanced AI agent software capable of performing complex tasks without internet or cloud support on these computers for the first time.
