Big news!
Amd and especially Intel must be pooping their pants reading that. If Ngreedia’s arm cpu delivers, that’s going to be multiple billions of dollars shifted away from them. Also , it’s the first time Qualcomm will have PC arm competition, that will hurt.
I am so impatient to see the first product!

Maybe that means it’s time to let x86 go and bet on riscv and arm finally guy…

It might be time for Intel and AMD to join their efforts to be relevant in PC segment.

There's a rumored equivalent SoC from AMD, planned for a 2025 launch. The rumor said it's aimed at laptops, so basically an answer to Snapdragon X.

I think Intel has been leaning more in the direction of RISC-V, but that would only be relevant for embedded, at this point, and soon expanding to server/cloud. The thing is, ARM is rapidly dominating the cloud, today. So, even if Windows on ARM doesn't displace x86, it's not as if it'd be a waste of effort to build a competitive ARM core, because you can still sell it into the server market.

Also, once you have a high-performance ARM core, porting it to run RISC-V probably isn't very hard. So, I think it's smart to jump on the ARM bandwagon today, but then keep a close eye on the RISC-V market and jump in, as soon as it starts to get some real momentum in server market.

For me, the killer question is whether Nvidia will be using its own CPU cores. Their old Denver and Carmel cores didn't seem to work out all that well, for them. And it's not easy to beat ARM at its own game, but Apple has certainly proved it's possible.

Hm. Nvidia certainly has the money and clout to make it happen, but also the greed, hubris, and control issues with partners to totally shank it. I can see them demanding higher prices and less design flexibility from OEMs, which isn’t going to translate into devices people get excited about. They’re also using licensed ARM core designs, so while they can offer ARM with a great iGPU, I’m not sure how much they’ll move the needle on CPU performance.

Whatever happens, it’s certainly going to be interesting!

Perhaps MediaTek will be the savior, in this case.

"the company's entry into the PC space reflects Nvidia's long-standing interest in challenging AMD and Nvidia on their home turf."

Need to proof read your articles.
As for Windows on Arm, I can't help but wonder if a huge part of the "performance issues" have to do with all the bloatware and telemetry gathering BS that M$ pus into Windows 11. I believe that's a HUGE part of the reason why they are trying everything they can to get people to "upgrade" from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I bet if they had the OS as simplified as they did with Windows 2000, Arm would have no problems running it.
