Nvidia Enters PC Market…First Windows PC to Be Unveiled

Reported by Axios in the U.S.…to be showcased at Taiwan IT exhibition Computex and other events

"Positive for the entire AI and PC industry…generational change in the hardware ecosystem"

Nvidia, the U.S. semiconductor company leading the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, has set its sights on the personal computer (PC) market.

U.S. internet media outlet Axios reported on the 30th (local time), citing multiple sources, that Nvidia will soon unveil its first Windows PC using its chips as the main processor.

According to the report, Nvidia and Microsoft (MS) plan to showcase their co-development achievements and new PCs at 'Computex,' Asia's largest information and communication (IT) exhibition held in Taiwan on June 2nd, and at MS's developer event 'Build' held in San Francisco, U.S., also on June 2nd.

This product is expected to be the first Windows PC equipped with an Nvidia chip as the main processor.

The industry expects that not only MS but also other PC manufacturers like Dell will release Nvidia-based products.

Axios evaluated that this launch also holds significant meaning for MS's AI PC strategy.

MS's 'Copilot+,' an AI PC ambitiously introduced last year, did not achieve expected results due to security controversies surrounding its core 'Recall' feature and launch delays.

However, with Nvidia's participation, MS is expected to gain momentum once again in its pursuit of the AI PC market.

It is also reported that MS will simultaneously unveil software that enhances AI agent functions operating directly within the user's PC.

This is not the first time Nvidia has supported Windows devices.

Nvidia chips were used in some Surface tablets equipped with 'Windows RT,' a lightweight operating system based on Windows 8, in 2012.

Axios reported that the industry expects Nvidia's entry into the PC market to impact not only the AI semiconductor sector but also the entire PC industry.

Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at market research firm Current Analysis Strategies, said, "It's a positive signal for the entire industry," adding, "Nvidia's entry could also provide a ripple effect to competitor Qualcomm, which makes chips with similar structures, leading to an overall generational change in the hardware ecosystem."
