Nvidia CEO says company has plans for desktop chip designed with MediaTek

On Monday at CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled a desktop computer called Project DIGITS. The machine uses Nvidia’s latest “Blackwell” AI chip and will cost $3,000. It contains a new central processor, or CPU, which Nvidia and MediaTek worked to create. Responding to an analyst’s question during an investor presentation, Huang said Nvidia tapped MediaTek to co-design an energy-efficient CPU that could be sold more widely. “Now they could provide that to us, and they could keep that for themselves and serve the market. And so it was a great win-win,” Huang said. Previously, Reuters reported that Nvidia was working on a CPU for personal computers to challenge the consumer and business computer market dominance of Intel, Advanced Micro Devices and Qualcomm. ↫ Stephen Nellis at Reuters I’ve long wondered why NVIDIA wasn’t entering the general purpose processor market in a more substantial way than it did a few years ago with the Tegra, especially now that ARM has cemented itself as an architecture choice for more than just mobile devices. Much like Intel, AMD, and now Qualcomm, NVIDIA could easily deliver the whole package to laptop, tablet, and desktop makers: processor, chipset, GPU, of course glued together with special NVIDIA magic the other companies opting to use NVIDIA GPUs won’t get. There’s a lot of money to be made there, and it’s the move that could help NVIDIA survive the inevitable crash of the “AI” wave it’s currently riding, which has pushed the company to become one of the most valuable companies in the world. I’m also sure OEMs would love nothing more than to have more than just Qualcomm to choose from for ARM laptops and desktops, if only to aid in bringing costs down through competition, and to potentially offer ARM devices with the same kind of powerful GPUs currently mostly reserved for x86 machines. I’m personally always for more competition, but this time with the asterisk that NVIDIA really doesn’t need to get any bigger than it already is. The company has a long history of screwing over consumers, and I doubt that would change if they also conquered a chunky slice of the general purpose processor market.

“I’m spitting image of darts sensation Luke Littler – strangers mistake me for him”

A man is loving his striking resemblance to teenage darts sensation Luke Littler – as mates jokingly ask what he plans to do with the prize money.

Sarah Marshall, 31, posted a video of her partner, Christopher Roger, 33, watching the darts – but less eagled-eyed viewers could have easily mistaken him for the world number 2.

While Christopher sat watching the two-time World Darts Championship finalist before his third-round tie on the 29th December, Sarah casually panned round to her partner who shares a remarkably similar side profile.

Sarah jokingly quipped “how is Luke Littler on my TV and sat in my living room?” as Christopher – who doesn’t see the resemblance – shook his head.

The video has since racked up over three million views and over 250,000 likes with many also seeing the similarities.
