Nvidia will launch a PC “superchip” this year as the semiconductor giant goes head-to-head with Apple, Qualcomm, Intel and AMD for the first time.

Computer makers including Dell, Asus and HP will use what Nvidia claims is “the most efficient PC chip ever built”, paired with Microsoft’s Windows software, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang announced on Monday. The launch marks a major competitive shift in the consumer PC industry and a new business line for $5.1tn Nvidia. The company, best known for its dominance of semiconductors for AI infrastructure, is pushing beyond its traditional graphics cards into integrated chips that power the whole PC. Lenovo, Microsoft, Acer and Taiwan’s MSI will also use the product. Source: FT
