NVIDIA’s upcoming N1-series processors are set for an official announcement, yet a recent leak might have spoiled the surprise a day in advance. Insider information from VideoCardz reveals new specifications that detail not just the flagship N1X chip, but also several other variants, indicating Nvidia is gearing up for a more extensive entry into the PC processor market than previously anticipated.
The standout is the N1X, which reportedly shares the configuration of Nvidia’s GB10 chip utilized in the DGX Spark AI system. However, it is the more affordable N1 models that could potentially make the greatest impact if Nvidia aims to introduce Arm-based processors into mainstream laptops.
The N1X certainly looks like a flagship.
The leaked specifications show that the top-tier N1X features a 20-core CPU setup divided between Cortex-X925 and Cortex-A725 cores. On the graphics front, it is said to scale up to 48 Streaming Multiprocessors, equating to 6,144 CUDA cores. A slightly less powerful version is expected to have 40 SMs and 5,120 CUDA cores. Both chips function within a 45W to 80W power range, positioning them in a class usually associated with high-end gaming laptop processors.
Memory support is equally ambitious. The N1X is rumored to accommodate up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory and offer sufficient PCIe connectivity for multiple high-speed storage devices. On paper, it seems to be a robust workstation-class platform.
The standard N1 might be the most significant development.
While flagship models tend to attract the spotlight, the standard N1 may be the processor that truly matters. Leaked configurations indicate 12-core and 10-core variants paired with significantly smaller GPU blocks, ranging from 2,048 to 2,560 CUDA cores. These chips are designed for an 18W to 45W power range, placing them firmly in the thin-and-light laptop segment. They cater to devices where battery life, AI capabilities, and portability take precedence over maximizing gaming performance.
That positioning could make the N1 Nvidia’s response to the rising trend of Arm-powered PCs being promoted by companies like Qualcomm. Notably, at least one of the leaked presentation slides appears to be from 2024, suggesting that Nvidia has been quietly working on these processors for an extended period. The company is anticipated to unveil the N1 family soon, and while not all leaked variants may reach the market, the roadmap clearly indicates that Nvidia’s ambitions in the PC sector are significantly broader than just a single flagship chip.

AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 GRE has impressive claims for 1440p, but the $549 price tag may be a tough sell.
The Radeon RX 9070 GRE has officially launched worldwide at Computex 2026, following its initial introduction in China in May 2025. This marks a broader distribution rather than the debut of a completely new graphics card. It will be available from board partners starting June 2, offered in both reference and overclocked versions, with a suggested retail price of $549.
