NVIDIA and MediaTek's New APU for Gaming Laptops: First Use ...
- NVIDIA, in collaboration with MediaTek, is creating its inaugural Arm-based gaming APU aimed at powering Dell's Alienware laptops, with an anticipated launch scheduled for late 2025 or early 2026.
- This collaboration responds to persistent design constraints in gaming laptops, including thick profiles, heavy cooling needs, and short battery life despite steady performance improvements.
- The new APU integrates Arm CPU cores with NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU architecture aiming to deliver RTX 4070-level performance in a power envelope of 65 to 120 watts, enabling thinner, quieter gaming machines.
- NVIDIA aims to distribute approximately 3 million of its processors in 2025, noting that current Arm-based Windows devices offer fanless designs and over 12 hours of battery life, though they still encounter compatibility challenges with gaming titles due to anti-cheat software restrictions.
- If successful, the NVIDIA-MediaTek APU could reshape gaming hardware by democratizing high-end portable gaming while challenging Intel and AMD's market dominance and accelerating Windows on Arm adoption.

The Next Gaming Revolution: How NVIDIA’s Arm-Powered Laptop Could Rewrite Design Rules - Yanko Design
The gaming laptop landscape has remained relatively stagnant for years, with manufacturers primarily focused on cramming more powerful processors and graphics cards into increasingly bulky chassis. While performance has steadily improved and some designs have indeed gotten slimmer, the fundamental design constraints have persisted: heavy cooling systems, short battery life, and thick profiles that scream
The company's first APU under Arm is fast approaching; will it be able to solve the compatibility problems that still handicap this architecture to enable it to express its full potential in the field of video game?
It almost seems like a technological paradox: NVIDIA, once a supplier of oversized server clones for data centers, is suddenly going mobile. With the DGX Spark, Team Green is delivering a response to the growing demand for powerful yet compact AI systems – bringing its computing monsters into a shoebox format. Rumors point to a market launch in July 2025. Official […] Source
The accelerated processing unit (APU) based on ARM architecture could be presented at the end of 2025. It promises better performance and reduces energy consumption
