Nvidia’s anticipated Arm chip is rumored to rival the gaming performance of the RTX 4070 laptop GPU while utilizing less than half of its power consumption. The release, expected in late 2025 or early 2026, may feature in a new Alienware laptop.

A report from a Taiwanese news source suggests that the forthcoming APU will implement a custom Arm architecture CPU. The uncertainty lies in whether Nvidia has utilized standard Arm cores or developed its own customized designs compatible with the Arm instruction set.

This new chip is expected to integrate an Nvidia GPU built on the latest Blackwell architecture, boasting the performance levels of a 120W RTX 4070 notebook but at only 65W power usage, thus marking a significant leap in energy efficiency for portable gaming laptops.

However, compatibility with existing games remains a challenge, as the chip would likely run on Windows for Arm, necessitating a reliance on Microsoft’s Prism translation for compatibility with x86-based games.

As per earlier hints, this Arm-based APU for PCs has been confirmed by Nvidia CEO, promising intriguing gameplay options ahead.
