Nvidia CEO Teases Desktop CPU Plans, Corroborating Past Rumors

Expert Verified By

Nvidia To Challenge Intel & AMD Dominance!!

Story Highlight
  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claims that the company indeed has plans to enter the PC CPU market.
  • However, he is not ready to reveal what exactly they are but reassures that Nvidia intends to make it a mainstream product.
  • He also believes PC manufacturers will jump in to make it available to end users, along with Nvidia’s promised support.

Nvidia has slowly cemented itself as a giant in the GPU market space, influencing both the gaming industry and the AI scene over the years. Its massive presence has made competition extremely difficult.

Now, the company wants to up the ante by entering the desktop CPU market to challenge the competition and further dominate the market.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has expressed plans to penetrate the PC CPU scene by releasing a mass-produced processor. The firm only recently launched the Linux-based AI computer dubbed Project Digits, which features a staggering 20-core Arm CPU. 

Why it matters: Nvidia entering the desktop CPU market could completely shift the scales of the current competition. Currently, AMD is steadily increasing its influence by stealing Intel’s market shares month by month.

Project Digits
Nvidia revealed its new AI PC, Project Digits, meant for AI developers.

A report by Reuters claims that Jensen Huang addressed investors with the answer that the company indeed has plans for its desktop CPU. However, he claimed that he would ‘wait to tell you’ what they are.

He further reassures: ‘You know, obviously we have plans,’ and elaborates that Nvidia wants to make that a “mainstream product”.

We’ll support it with all the things that we do to support professional and high-quality software, and the PC (manufacturers) will make it available to end users.

It’s worth noting that Nvidia has already expressed plans to enter the PC CPU market in the past to compete with giants like Intel and AMD. Many rumors regarding the GPU maker’s work on an ARM-based processor for PCs have circulated for a while. 

Intel And AMD
Intel and AMD already have a gargantuan presence in the CPU PC market.

Do you think Nvidia’s foray into the PC CPU market could ultimately shift the entire gaming industry, or will it have minimal effects? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
