PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The presence of Nvidia's chief at Microsoft's hardware event sends a strong signal. It indicates that 'on-device AI' is no longer just a software proof-of-concept but is entering a phase of hardware proliferation driven by deep NPU-GPU integration. Speculation around products like RTX Spark suggests Microsoft is attempting to restructure underlying compute architectures to find new differentiation moats for the Windows camp against Apple's dominant M-series chips.
