NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote address at 8PM PT / 11PM ET during the GTC Taipei event. Live coverage and embedded sessions will be available. Recent speculation suggests potential announcements regarding a partnership with Microsoft and advancements in Windows on ARM technology. Sources indicate that the surface lineup may utilize NVIDIA’s upcoming N1 and N1X ARM processors.
Microsoft previously utilized NVIDIA’s Tegra ARM CPUs in Microsoft Surface RT devices during 2012, though the product line faced significant challenges. Current developments indicate ongoing efforts by NVIDIA to establish a stronger presence in ARM-based computing, competing against Qualcomm’s market leadership and MediaTek’s dominance in budget segments. The speculated Microsoft-ARM-NVIDIA initiative represents a potential shift in strategic partnerships within the PC industry.
