The rumors around future ARM processors from NVIDIA continue to gain momentum. This time, it’s Lenovo which seems to have indirectly confirmed the existence of the chips NVIDIA N1X via its own internal system. A discovery which strongly reinforces the idea that several manufacturers are already preparing laptops based on this new platform.
The information comes from a publicly accessible Lenovo authentication portal, where several references to an “NVIDIA N1x Portal†were spotted. Although this does not constitute an official product announcement, it clearly confirms that Lenovo is already working internally around this future architecture.
An internal Lenovo portal shows the name NVIDIA N1X
The discovery concerns precisely a page linked to Lenovo’s ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) system. This mentions two distinct environments: “NVIDIA N1x Portal PROD†as well as “NVIDIA N1x Portal Test†.
These titles generally correspond to internal platforms used for the development, testing or validation of products before their marketing.
Of course, this leak reveals neither the technical characteristics of the machines, nor their launch date, nor even the exact models concerned. However, the simple fact that Lenovo already officially uses the name “N1X†in its internal systems lends serious credence to the many rumors that have emerged in recent months.
Is a Lenovo Legion 7 equipped with an NVIDIA N1X?
This discovery directly echoes a previous leak from Lenovo support pages. Several references to still unknown products were then spotted, including a mysterious Legion 7 15N1X11.
Everything now suggests that it would be a future Lenovo Legion gaming laptop based on the NVIDIA N1X platform.
Other references also mentioned Yoga and IdeaPad machines using N1 and N1X names, which suggests that NVIDIA is not only targeting the gaming segment, but also ultrabooks and consumer laptops.
A 245 W power supply confirms mid/high-end positioning
New information now reinforces the rumors around this mysterious Legion 7 equipped with an NVIDIA N1X chip. A laptop power supply reseller has in fact listed a charger specifically compatible with the “Lenovo Legion 7 15N1X11†model.
The most interesting thing concerns precisely the power of the power supply. This would use a 245 W Lenovo Slim Tip GaN adapter, capable of delivering 20V at 12.25A. This detail is far from trivial, because it already makes it possible to approximately determine the level of performance expected from this future machine.
For comparison, Lenovo already uses this same 245W charger on some current Legion 7 models equipped with GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPUs with a TGP of 115W.
Conversely, very high-end laptops incorporating RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 Laptop generally use much larger power supplies of 380 to 400 W.
This leak therefore suggests that the future Legion 7 N1X would probably not target the ultra enthusiast segment of RTX 5090 machines, but rather a premium category more balanced between performance, consumption and mobility.
Performance close to an RTX 5070 desktop?
Rumors indicate that the NVIDIA N1X chip would be an ARM SoC directly integrating a graphics part derived from the Blackwell architecture. If NVIDIA actually uses the specifications of the GB10 SuperChip already seen in the DGX Spark systems, then this chip could carry up to 6144 CUDA cores.
A particularly interesting figure since it precisely corresponds to the number of CUDA cores in the GeForce RTX 5070 desktop.
Obviously, the final performance will strongly depend on frequencies, thermal envelope and software optimization under Windows on ARM. But this suggests potentially very high graphics performance for an integrated ARM platform.
NVIDIA prépare son offensive sur Windows on ARM
For several months, rumors indicate that NVIDIA wants to aggressively enter the Windows on ARM PC market. Until now, Qualcomm practically alone dominated this sector with the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus. But NVIDIA could completely reshuffle the cards thanks to its expertise in GPUs and artificial intelligence.
Future N1 and N1X chips are expected to combine high-performance ARM cores with GPUs derived from the GeForce RTX architecture. The goal would be to deliver extremely energy-efficient PCs while maintaining solid graphics and AI performance.
This strategy could particularly appeal to gaming manufacturers like Lenovo, ASUS or MSI, who seek to offer more autonomous, quieter and less energy-consuming machines.
Computex 2026 could mark the official debut
The timing of this leak is not trivial. Computex 2026 is fast approaching and several sources believe that NVIDIA could take advantage of the show to formalize its new PC platform.
The first laptops equipped with N1X chips could thus be unveiled at the beginning of June.
Lenovo also seems particularly well positioned to be one of NVIDIA’s first partners. The Legion range could serve as a technological showcase to demonstrate that an ARM gaming PC capable of competing with traditional x86 platforms is finally becoming possible.
A new competitor for Intel, AMD and Qualcomm
If NVIDIA truly manages to deliver solid CPU performance while integrating a high-performance GPU and advanced AI capabilities, the laptop market could experience a major upheaval.
Intel and AMD have historically dominated the gaming market, while Qualcomm is currently trying to impose Windows on ARM on ultraportable machines. NVIDIA could just merge these two worlds.
The prospect of ARM gaming laptops equipped with native NVIDIA GPUs could represent a major development in the sector in the coming years.
It now remains to be seen whether the performance will really be there and whether Windows on ARM is finally ready to convince gamers and professional users alike.
