The company said it will be “reinventing the personal computer” for creating and gaming.
They have not forgotten the gaming market.
Microsoft said in a separate statement that the personal computers running on Nvidia’s RTX superchips would be able to support “highly capable AI models” and complex workloads. With the new superchips, these personal computers can run AI agents locally, Nvidia said.
Nvidia’s move is significant at a time when demand is growing for the use of personal AI agents, said Lian Jye Su, chief analyst at the technology research and advisory group Omdia.
There are two big implications to this new product line.
First, this is a new product line for the gaming market. This comes after hints that Nvidia was abandoning the desktop graphics card market for the money hose being blown in their face by the data center AI processor market. They recently removed the standalone gaming business category from their financial reports and folded it into a broader “edge computing” division.
They haven’t forgotten gaming, and I think they are hedging their bets on the future of AI in general by putting out what should be a new leading product for desktop gaming.
Second, these big industry players are aware of the personal, private, locally running AI movement and that movement is not currently corporate. Microsoft may have plans to release a locally running version of Copilot, but they haven’t said anything about that yet. Right now, the only AI running locally on peoples’ machines is free AI made by the open source community. This new product is an acknowledgment that private, open source AI is important.
