Wait and see how much the price will be. 🍋

Rumor NVIDIA is preparing to make chips for computers again, after years of disappearance from this market, with this return in a new way, as an ARM architecture chip for Windows on ARM, and may see devices using these chips actually go on sale as early as 2026.

.

According to DigiTimes, according to an insider source, NVIDIA is preparing to launch the first chip in this family under the name N1X, which is expected to begin marketing within the next few months as a generic user-focused model not limited to AI or enterprise work.

.

Also within the same year, NVIDIA had plans to launch several more sub-models of the same family of chips, simultaneously under development for the next generation of chips, the N2 series, which is also targeted for launch during Q3 2027.

.

For the N1X chip, it is rumored to be based on a similar basis to the GB10 platform used in NVIDIA's AI-line miniature computer DGX Spark, being a chip that combines ARM CPUs and Blackwell architecture GPs into a single chip, has up to 20 CPU cores, uses up to 128GB of Unified Memory LPDDR5X and is manufactured with TSMC's 3 nm process, developed in partnership with MediaTek.

.

The point that has been particularly watched by many is that the N1X's built-in graphics are rumored to have similar power to the RTX 5070 desktop screen card. If this information is true, it could make notebooks or PCs using NVIDIA chips clearly have higher graphics performance and AI tasks than regular ARM chips.

.

The report also says that NVIDIA will provide Reference Design to manufacturer Partner, resulting in the opportunity to see N1X chip-based devices from multiple brands, not limited to one camp, which is the same approach NVIDIA has always used in the screen card market.

.

However, in the field of practical users, Windows on ARM is currently considered to be working to some extent, but if you want to ensure serious use or support all-round software, the x86 side still has a fair advantage. How much will NVIDIA's entry change that picture? It will be expected to continue in 2026.
