Nvidia just started a new chip war

That might be the fastest mobile graphics we've ever seen.

It might not.

We haven't tested it.

It certainly isn't as high as you could possibly get if you had a couple of chips in a big, beefy laptop.

But their pitch here is you have all this performance and it is very thin and it's very light and it's very cool because it's an ARM CPU and it is monolithic here, a single chip that does all this stuff.

I think this is,

Fortunately or unfortunately, this is increasingly becoming the way of laptops.

If you are not very specifically self-selecting as, I am a gamer, I am a video creator, you're going to buy a laptop that kind of...

has everything encapsulated in one chip that does it all for you, because that's where they find the efficiency.

That's where they stop having to worry about making different kinds of chips talk together and use up the right kind of battery and have the cooling allocated the way that they need so that doesn't get too hot.

So you'll still have the big, beefy, thicker machines when you want the discrete.

They just won't have this chip in them.

The Vergecast

They could theoretically make another kind of chip that does that.

But we haven't really seen ARM chips attached to discrete graphics cards yet.

We didn't see in the Mac Pro when Apple did its Apple Silicon there.

We haven't seen it in NVIDIA.

But if anybody's going to make that work, it's going to be a company like NVIDIA, which has everything to gain by also selling you a discrete GPU.

Just not in this rev, I think.

I have to laugh that you say mainstream play, though, because as as with every.

As with every manufacturer here, they're not talking about price.
