Moore’s Law is Dead has revealed that Nvidia plans to showcase its N1X laptop processor at this year’s Computex. However, you might have to wait a while before you can buy a laptop with this chip.
While Nvidia isn’t entirely new to the Arm-powered SoC segment, it has yet to make inroads into the hotly contested consumer laptop segment, where it will face the likes of Qualcomm, Intel, AMD and Apple. The N1X chip has yet to officially surface, but a multitude of leaks have given us a good idea of what Nvidia has planned. Moore’s Law is dead and now tells us exactly when we’ll be able to see the chip in action.
According to Tom’s supply chain sources, Nvidia plans to showcase the N1X at Computex, which will be held between June 2 and 5 of this year. Laptops equipped with this hardware will be launched in October, but it will be necessary to wait until the beginning of 2027 for them to be available on a larger scale. A previous report indicated that the N1X platform was riddled with bugs and apparently that’s still the case, which could be the cause of the delay. Additionally, the N1X platform will not be limited to light and thin laptops and could even power some Alienware gaming laptops.
A previous Geekbench listing showed us that the N1X would come with 10 P-cores and 10 E-cores, like the DGX Spark. Unlike the DGX Spark, the processor was designed in collaboration with MediaTek – as previous leaks suggested. The chip will support up to 128GB of LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and will be manufactured on an unspecified 3nm node from TSMC. N3P seems like a likely candidate, but given that the N1X has been on the move for a long time, N3E could also be plausible.
Its GPU should have considerable firepower, with Tom’s estimates indicating that it could fall between an RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti thanks to its 6,144 CUDA cores. All this performance will come with significant power consumption, with the chip’s TDP ranging from 65 to 120 watts. That’s at about what AMD’s Strix Halo consumes at full load, and if the N1X’s performance estimates are accurate, they will offer much better GPU performance.
Finally, the N1X won’t be Nvidia’s only laptop chip this time around. A second variant called N1V has also been spotted online, but there is no information on its contents. Realistically, it could be a low-power variant of the N1X with fewer GPU cores and a lower TDP, specifically designed for thin and light laptops. It could be Nvidia’s Panther Lake/Gorgon Point competitor for the entry and mid-range segment.
