Rumors have been flying about what to expect from today’s presentation, but the big one is the possibility of a partnership with Microsoft and a renewed Windows on ARM push. Microsoft has been teasing a “new era of PC” for its Surface lineup, and expectations are that new ARM processors from NVIDIA, dubbed the N1 and N1X, will be powering these yet-to-be-announced computers.Microsoft actually tapped NVIDIA’s Tegra ARM CPUs for the Surface RT way back in 2012. But that machine was largely considered a hamstrung disaster. NVIDIA has also largely struggled to find a footing in the world of ARM processors, with Qualcomm cornering the high-end, and companies like MediaTek dominating the budget world. This rumored “new era of PC” teased by Microsoft, NVIDIA, and ARM on social media likely means that Qualcomm’s exclusive license for Windows 11’s ARM variant has come to an end.RelatedWhat’s next for Microsoft’s Surface PCs?Microsoft teases new Surface hardware and ‘a new era of PC’Nvidia, Microsoft, and Arm are all teasing Nvidia’s new N1X laptop processorsFollow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Terrence O'BrienCloseTerrence O'BrienWeekend EditorPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Terrence O'BrienComputexCloseComputexPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All ComputexNvidiaCloseNvidiaPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All NvidiaTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularUnited flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker nameThe SpaceX IPO is great for Elon Musk and terrible for you007 First Light is already discounted for the PS5 and SteamUser-replaceable batteries are coming back in a big wayNvidia, Microsoft, and Arm are all teasing Nvidia’s new N1X laptop processorsThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

To view Nvidia's Computex keynote, one can tune in at 8PM Pacific Time or 11PM Eastern Time. The presentation features Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at GTC Taipei and revolves around significant rumors concerning potential collaborations with Microsoft and a renewed effort to promote the Windows on ARM architecture. Expectations center on the possibility of NVIDIA supplying new ARM processors, specifically the rumored N1 and N1X CPUs, intended for Microsoft's Surface line of computers. This development is particularly noteworthy given Microsoft's ongoing teasing of a "new era of PC" through its Surface hardware.

The context surrounding this potential partnership involves historical issues with ARM processors in the PC space. Previously, Microsoft utilized NVIDIA’s Tegra ARM CPUs for the Surface RT line, a configuration that was reportedly considered problematic. NVIDIA has generally faced challenges in establishing a strong foothold within the broader ARM processor market, as Qualcomm currently dominates the high-end segment, while companies like MediaTek hold sway in the budget sector. Therefore, the rumored focus by Microsoft, NVIDIA, and ARM on the N1X processors suggests a potential shift in licensing dynamics, potentially indicating the expiration of Qualcomm's exclusive license for the Windows 11 ARM variant. The presentation is tied to these evolving technological and licensing considerations within the PC hardware ecosystem.
