This is the best summary I could come up with:
Reuters reports that Nvidia has started designing Arm-based CPUs in what could be a major expansion of Microsoft’s Windows on Arm work.
Reuters reports that Microsoft executives will be part of Qualcomm’s announcement tomorrow, including vice president of Windows and Devices Pavan Davuluri.
Microsoft’s first Surface tablet, the Surface RT, was powered by Nvidia’s Arm-based Tegra processor, but Windows RT failed to make an impact despite Lenovo, Asus, Samsung, and Dell all trying to push Arm-based Windows devices.
We haven’t seen Nvidia Arm-based devices running Windows ever since, as Qualcomm’s close partnership with Microsoft has extended to special processors for Surface Pro tablets.
AMD and Nvidia potentially joining Qualcomm for Arm-based Windows devices will increase the pressure on Intel to deliver chips that can compete with Apple’s own silicon.
We haven’t seen that materialize yet, with the Windows maker co-engineering an Arm-based SQ1 processor with Qualcomm for the Surface Pro X and a SQ2 variant.
