The idea that Nvidia is plotting an Arm-based chip for the PC is not news. But the latest coverage from DigiTimes (paywall) claiming that the chip is targeted at the "high end" and goes into production in less than a year makes the whole thing feel both pretty real and very proximate.
According to Digitimes (via Tom's Hardware), Nvidia's plans include both chips engineered in partnership with Mediatek and fully custom in-house designs. It's thought the version for consumer PCs will be pure Nvidia, while Mediatek will partner with Nvidia to create another Arm-based SoC for enterprise customers.
