Taiwanese chip design giant MediaTek is
developing an Arm-based personal computer chip that will run Microsoft's Windows operating system, according to three people familiar with
enough horsepower to run the artificial intelligence applications that executives said were the future of consumer computing
for Mac computers for roughly four years
The chip is based on Arm's ready-made designs, which can significantly speed development because less design work is needed using
for a design that is already complete, which MediaTek's is not
For experienced chip design businesses, advanced chips typically take considerably more than a year to construct and test, depending on the
architecture, which has long powered smartphones and their small batteries
Microsoft granted Qualcomm an exclusivity arrangement to develop Arm-based Windows-compatible chips until 2024, Reuters reported last
