Damn, I called this a while ago. With Intel and AMD focusing on x86 and being behind on the competition, it makes so much sense that Nvidia would break into the processor space.
Also announcing this one day before the Qualcomm event is both funny and evil. Excited to see some good ARM laptops that aren't Macbooks.
NVIDIA wasn't shy about this. They tried to buy ARM. They design the Tegra chip that is in the Switch.
Just for market dominance I assume.
Yes, but that chip is old. It was already a bit outdated when the switch came out, and that was 2017.
Almost certainly. I'm glad they failed to buy it. It would have been a mess in the long run, but clearly they have plans for ARM.
Correct, but they do work with ARM already. I'm guessing they will be making the chip for the Switch 2, which will probably be out of date when it comes out in 2024, but it will be a more modern chip.
Nvidia's ARM play has always been primarily in AI and vehicles. Tegra has a number of successors — just not in consumer devices.
