If true, the market is shaken. 🍋
The first NVIDIA N1X SoC, developed in partnership with MediaTek, is set to fully invade the Windows on Arm and AI PC markets. This version of the chip uses TSMC's 3nm manufacturing technology and comes with a Grace CPU. The ARM architecture is paired with a Blackwell GPU with the same level of RTX 5070 Desktop. It also supports LPDDR5X memory up to 128GB. It supports AI processing up to 1 PetaFlops.
.
Despite previously popping up at the Computex 2025 event with prototypes from multiple brands, most recently NVIDIA will reportedly postpone the launch of the N1X to early 2026, the main reason coming from waiting for a new version of Windows from Microsoft to come with full AI feature support to make the experience as complete as possible.
.
Recent test results on Geekbench 6 revealed that the N1X's 20-core CPU (10 Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725) scored around 3,096 Single-Core and 18,837 Multi-Core through.
.
As for GPU 6,144, CUDA Cores has 48 CUs tested with OpenCL. It also comes out in the middle of 46,361 points, beating almost all iGPUs, but it still loses enough iGPUs in the Ryzen AI Max family. This is a test version that is not fully optimized. It has to wait for the driver to be more complete, and it may be stronger to move more TDP values.
.
With the MediaTek handshake, the N1X has a fully connected system of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G, consuming only about 120W of power, fits light notebooks and AI PC devices that require high computing power but are energy efficient. The CES 2026 event early next year should be the big launch stage of the N1X that many have been waiting for.
