- NVIDIA is teaming up with MediaTek to bring RTX GPUs to Arm-based Chrome OS and Linux PCs.
- This could lead to Chromebooks with fast graphics.
- There are no timeframes for when you’ll see shipping products.
You probably don’t think of a Chromebook as a graphics powerhouse, but that might change before long. NVIDIA is teaming up with MediaTek to develop a reference platform that would bring RTX GPUs to Arm-based Chromium and Linux PCs as well as NVIDIA’s own developer kits.
The two didn’t say when they expected to bring NVIDIA RTX graphics to the reference design, let alone a Chromebook you can buy. However, they weren’t shy about the potential uses. MediaTek chief Rick Tsai envisioned using GPUs for “gaming, content creation” and other intensive tasks.
