Arm Chip: Nvidia's new ambition in the gaming laptop market
According to TechRadar , there have been many reports about Nvidia developing processors (CPUs) based on the Arm architecture for personal computers. However, the latest information surrounding the CPU's gaming capabilities is attracting special attention. Other sources also said that Nvidia is collaborating with Alienware to bring this chip to high-end gaming laptops.
According to YouTube channel MLID, Nvidia's APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) chip is designed to achieve performance equivalent to the RTX 4070 Mobile GPU when operating at a power consumption of about 65W. Nvidia even aims to push the chip's maximum power up to 80W, an impressive number for integrated graphics solutions.
Laptops using Nvidia's ARM CPUs are expected to launch in late 2025 under the cooperation of Alienware and MediaTek
The report also notes that Nvidia is partnering with MediaTek to produce these Arm chips, similar to what Qualcomm did with its Snapdragon X-series chips in the PC market. However, while Qualcomm focuses primarily on battery life and overall performance, Nvidia is targeting its products at gamers.
Furthermore, Nvidia is said to be working with Dell to integrate this chip into Alienware laptops, which are known for their high-end gaming laptops with a focus on performance. Nvidia's inclusion of Arm chips in Alienware devices promises to bring a combination of high performance, thin and light design, and long battery life.
Nvidia is expected to launch the product in late 2025 or 2026 at the latest. This timing matches other predictions about Nvidia expanding into Arm chips for computers.
Competes directly with AMD Strix Halo
Nvidia's biggest challenge is AMD, whose Strix Halo APU line is also expected to launch in 2024. The most powerful Strix Halo chip - the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 - is expected to feature 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units and 16 Zen 5 cores, supporting high-performance gaming. With a power consumption of 120W, AMD's products are said to have no compatibility or performance issues when using x86-based Windows operating systems. This is a big advantage over Windows on Arm, which still has compatibility issues, especially with 64-bit applications.
Still, Nvidia is reportedly investing heavily to improve Windows performance and compatibility on Arm, which could help them overcome their current limitations and pave the way for Arm chips to become a real contender in the PC gaming market.
While sources are not always accurate, reports of Nvidia developing Arm chips are coming from a variety of sources, so the possibility of Nvidia bringing a breakthrough product in the future is completely grounded.
