NVIDIA RETIRES 20-YEAR-OLD CONTROL PANEL

The Control Panel, a Windows XP-era tool that has served Nvidia users since its inception, is being phased out as the company consolidates its software offerings. All functionality has been transferred to Nvidia's modern app platform. The move reflects Nvidia's broader software modernization efforts as the company expands beyond GPUs into new markets. Nvidia is preparing to launch Windows PCs powered by its custom chips next year, partnering with Microsoft and manufacturers including Dell. The new devices will compete directly with Intel and AMD in the laptop space. Meanwhile, Nvidia continues strengthening its AI infrastructure position. Major AI labs including OpenAI and Anthropic have already secured Nvidia's new Vera chip for their data center operations. CEO Jensen Huang recently predicted chipmaker Marvell will become the next $1 trillion company, sending Marvell shares surging in trading.
