Nvidia Plans a Windows PC SoC, Setting up Direct Competition with Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD

Nvidia is engineering a Windows‑compatible system‑on‑chip based on its GB10 platform, a partnership with MediaTek that blends 20 Arm cores and a Blackwell GPU delivering up to one petaFLOP of AI performance. Dell and Lenovo have already signaled intent to ship notebooks and desktops using the chip later this year. While the current GB10 targets high‑power AI workstations at 140 watts, analysts say a laptop‑grade variant will need substantially lower power and heat. The move pits Nvidia directly against Qualcomm, Intel and AMD as AI‑centric PCs are projected to exceed half of all shipments by 2026.
