NVIDIA's user PC platform based on ARM, which has been in development recently, is set to debut in September 2025. The company is expected to launch NVIDIA processors equipped with proprietary GPUs in the premium segment.
The ambitious roadmap for NVIDIA's client PC platform includes not only in-house products, but also collaborations with MediaTek. It is unofficially known that the platform will be unveiled in 2025, with a commercial launch scheduled for March 2026. It remains unclear from the source whether this refers to two separate platforms, one commercial and one general, or if it is a sequential launch of the same platform.
Supply chain sources suggest that NVIDIA will be well-positioned to enter the client PC market thanks to its dominance in the server market for artificial intelligence and discrete graphics cards. The company also has experience working with Grace and Tegra processors.
In this new segment, NVIDIA will face competition from AMD and Intel, which essentially dominate the market, as well as Qualcomm with its own ARM chips. However, NVIDIA will be able to offer powerful integrated and discrete graphics options.
This is not NVIDIA's first attempt to break into this space. In 2011, Microsoft launched the Windows on ARM (WOA) platform with Windows RT and processors from NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments. However, the initial attempt faced issues due to the design failures of the Surface devices and the OS itself. Ultimately, the company effectively suspended the development of Tegra processors.
