Scoop: First Windows PCs powered by Nvidia chips to debut next week

Windows PCs powered by Nvidia chips set a debut path next week, as Nvidia and Microsoft reveal joint work at Computex in Taiwan and Build in San Francisco. The launches are expected to include Nvidia-powered PCs from Microsoft's Surface brand and other makers such as Dell, with Microsoft also set to introduce software enabling AI agents to run locally on Windows. Representatives from Microsoft and Dell declined to comment, and Nvidia did not respond to requests for comment. Nvidia teased a “new era of PC” with Taiwan coordinates on X, while Windows leader Pavan Davuluri teased developer-focused announcements. The broader context ties a local-AI PC push to rising costs of cloud-based AI, with potential implications for rivals like Qualcomm.
