New Nvidia partnership could hint at Chromebooks with RTX graphics Nvidia hasn't exactly set the world on fire with its Tegra line of Arm-based mobile processors. Outside of its own excellent SHIELD hardware (and notably the Nintendo Switch), it's basically dead. But the company is hoping to breathe new life into its Arm ambitions by doubling down on what it does best: graphics. In a press release, Nvidia announced that it's working with major chip supplier MediaTek to combine Arm-based architecture with its RTX line of graphics cards. What does that mean? In the case of this specific partnership, it means suppliers might start equipping Arm-based Chromebooks and other Chrome OS hardware with "RTX graphics." That probably won't be the same as, say, an Intel-based Windows gaming laptop with a discrete Nvidia GPU, but it would be a significant boost over the kind of inexpensive Chromebooks typically equipped built on MediaTek's chips.
