Comment on Reuters: Nvidia to make Arm-based PC chips in major new challenge to Intel
simple@lemm.ee 8 months agoThey tried to buy ARM.
Just for market dominance I assume.
They design the Tegra chip that is in the Switch.
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 It was already a bit outdated when the switch came out, and that was 2017.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 I’m guessing they will be making the chip for the Switch 2, which will probably be out of date when it comes out in 2024, but it will be a more modern chip.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.
