Taiwanese chip design giant MediaTek (2454.TW) is developing an Arm-based personal computer chip designed to run Microsoft’s (MSFT.O) Windows operating system, according to three informed sources.
Last month, Microsoft introduced a new generation of laptops featuring Arm Holdings technology, providing the power needed to run advanced AI applications, which executives believe represent the future of consumer computing. MediaTek’s chip is aligned with this initiative.
Microsoft’s strategy targets Apple (AAPL.O), which has been releasing its own Arm-based chips for Mac computers for the past four years. By optimizing Windows for Arm, Microsoft could challenge Intel’s (INTC.O) long-standing dominance in the PC market.
Both MediaTek and Microsoft declined to comment.
On Wednesday, MediaTek’s Taiwan-listed shares rose by 2.4%, outperforming the broader index’s (.TWII) 1.2% gain.
MediaTek’s PC chip is expected to launch late next year, after Qualcomm’s (QCOM.O) exclusive deal to supply chips for laptops expires, according to two sources. The chip is based on Arm’s ready-made designs, which accelerates development since less design work is required using pre-tested chip components.
It remains unclear whether Microsoft has approved MediaTek’s PC chip for the Copilot+ Windows program.
Executives at Arm have noted that one of their customers built a chip using ready-made components in about nine months for a completed design, which MediaTek’s is not.
For experienced chip design firms, advanced chips typically take more than a year to develop and test, depending on their complexity.
In 2016, Microsoft partnered with Qualcomm to transition the Windows operating system to Arm’s processor architecture, which has long powered smartphones. Microsoft granted Qualcomm exclusive rights to develop Arm-based Windows-compatible chips until 2024, as reported by Reuters last year.
With Qualcomm’s exclusivity deal expiring, other designers are stepping in to create chips for Microsoft’s latest push towards Arm designs. For decades, Windows machines have relied on chip architecture from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) and Intel (INTC.O).
According to a Reuters report from last year, Nvidia and AMD are also working on Arm designs for Windows machines. Nvidia’s project for its PC chip involves collaboration with MediaTek, a source revealed. However, MediaTek’s PC chip project is separate from its collaboration with Nvidia, according to two sources.
