The American technology company Nvidia, known primarily for graphics chips, together with Microsoft and Dell is preparing to introduce personal computers (PCs) based on its own core processor in June, Axios reports, citing sources familiar with the plans. The products will be the first of their kind, as Nvidia has not previously been among the major market players in this chip category. The computers will have the Microsoft Windows operating system installed.
The companies have not officially announced a joint project, but ahead of industry exhibitions, hints began to appear on social networks.
“A new era of personal computing,” read Nvidia's post on X (formerly Twitter) on May 29, accompanied by coordinates for the upcoming Computex tech show in Taiwan.
A similar publication soon appeared in the Windows account. Microsoft Vice President Pavan Davuluri wrote separately that “there's something new in store for developers,” adding, “See you at Build next week!” We are talking about the Microsoft Build conference in San Francisco (California) on June 2-3.

According to Axios, the companies will present joint developments at these two events – the Computex exhibition, which will be held from June 2 to 5 in Taipei, as well as the Build developer conference.
“Sources have confirmed that computers based on Nvidia processors will be produced both under the Microsoft Surface brand and by other manufacturers, including Dell,” the publication clarifies.
Nvidia already collaborated with Microsoft in 2012 and supplied processors for the company’s devices, but at that time these were Microsoft Surface tablets with a “stripped-down” Windows RT OS, Axios adds.
Microsoft is also expected to introduce special software this time around that will make it easier to use artificial intelligence (AI) agents locally on Windows computers. Nvidia is known as a leader in AI hardware.
The new processors will be based on the Arm architecture, the same technology used in Apple and Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, writes Analytics Insight. For Nvidia, this will open the door to a market where hundreds of millions of computers are sold annually, the publication emphasizes.
“This announcement marks Nvidia's largest expansion into the consumer PC market. For Microsoft, this will be another step towards diversifying the Windows hardware ecosystem,” the portal clarifies.
It is expected that Nvidia processors, which, according to some sources, are called N1 and N1X, will become unique, writes Crypto Briefing. They are designed to combine CPU, GPU, and artificial intelligence technologies in one device. Essentially, it's a “smaller version of Nvidia's data center concept that fits into a laptop bag,” the publication explains.
At the same time, the risk, as always when launching a new platform, is associated with its implementation. Nvidia has no experience producing PC processors at scale. Driver support, power management and application compatibility are all areas in which Intel and AMD have decades of experience, adds Crypto Briefing.
The consequences of the event will be especially felt by gamers, developers, artificial intelligence specialists and the entire Windows ecosystem based on the Arm architecture, TechniFico believes. From Microsoft's Surface line to Dell's XPS and Lenovo's Legion, Nvidia chips will power “the most anticipated laptops of 2026,” the publication predicts.
The Nvidia N1X chipset will allow large language models to run on laptops, as well as provide a more powerful graphics processor and compatibility with the software stack, TechniFico says. Among the confirmed and expected launch partners, the publication highlights, in addition to Dell, brands such as Lenovo, ASUS and MSI.
