NVIDIA plans to launch proprietary Arm-based processors for laptops by late 2026. This initiative marks a significant expansion from the company's core graphics and AI chip business into the consumer PC market.
The new system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs will integrate a CPU, GPU, and dedicated AI acceleration into a single unit. This architecture mirrors Apple’s M-series processors to deliver high-performance AI capabilities and improved power efficiency.
Major laptop manufacturers Dell and Lenovo are confirmed to be developing hardware featuring these new processors. The move aims to challenge Apple’s MacBook segment by providing lightweight devices with competitive battery life.
This strategic shift allows NVIDIA to diversify its revenue streams beyond its current data center dominance.
