New Arm CPUs from NVIDIA Coming in 2025
According to DigiTimes, NVIDIA is reportedly targeting the high-end segment for its first consumer CPU attempt. Slated to arrive in 2025, NVIDIA is partnering with MediaTek to break into the AI PC market, currently being popularized by Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD. With Microsoft and Qualcomm laying the foundation for Windows-on-Arm (WoA) development, NVIDIA plans to join and leverage its massive ecosystem of partners to design and deliver regular applications and games for its Arm-based processors. At the same time, NVIDIA is also scheduled to launch "Blackwell" GPUs for consumers, which could end up in these AI PCs with an Arm CPU at its core.
NVIDIA's partner, MediaTek, has recently launched a big core SoC for mobile called Dimensity 9400. NVIDIA could use something like that as a base for its SoC and add its Blackwell IP to the mix. This would be similar to what Apple is doing with its Apple Silicon and the recent M4 Max chip, which is apparently the fastest CPU in single-threaded and multithreaded workloads, as per recent Geekbench recordings. For NVIDIA, the company already has a team of CPU designers that delivered its Grace CPU to enterprise/server customers. Using off-the-shelf Arm Neoverse IP, the company's customers are acquiring systems with Grace CPUs as fast as they are produced. This puts a lot of hope into NVIDIA's upcoming AI PC, which could offer a selling point no other WoA device currently provides, and that is tried and tested gaming-grade GPU with AI accelerators.

Good old times...
I personally don't trust MediaTek. Their market share rose extremely quickly and their chips have vulnerabilities.
My brother in Christ, MediaTek is a Taiwanese company, not Chinese one. They have been around for almost 30 years and have their chips in tons of stuff. There is nothing to be worried about with them. And low-cost? Their Dimensity SoCs have been trading blow with Snapdragon for a while now.
As it's a way to maximize your incomes, I understand that Nvidia might have chosen MediaTek beucase they can provide similar performance and much cheaper than Qualcomm. However, that might strike back on them with security issues. Question on Taiwan's independence yields many answers, depens who you ask.
High-end if the only thing you work on is spreadsheets, yeah.
I'm no apple user, but a giant stone has to be lifted from over those who think people use macs for spreadsheets and document writing. They are multimedia workhorses
Jokes on you then - I turn off animations on my iPhone too.
I mean they might even sell you a combo soldered CPU+GPU just like grace hopper, which would practically be a soldered full motherboard and rake the profits
Cant be worse than any other intel generation.
