Jensen Huang has publicly confirmed Nvidia's collaboration with MediaTek on the development of the N1/N1X series processors for PCs based on WindowsIn comments to local Taiwanese media, Huang described the joint project as a system-on-a-chip designed for artificial intelligence computers, with an emphasis on low power consumption and high performance.
"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang attended the New Year's party at the company's Taiwan office yesterday (the 30th), celebrating with over 2000 employees. Rumors had previously circulated about Nvidia collaborating with MediaTek on the development of the N1 series processors. In an interview, Huang stated that the collaboration with MediaTek resulted in the creation of a very powerful system-on-a-chip (SoC) with low power consumption and excellent performance, designed specifically for computers with powerful AI capabilities," UDN writes.
According to leaks and rumors, the N1X processor configuration for consumer PCs and laptops may be similar to the GB10 superchip. The latter is equipped with unified memory and is used in Nvidia's DGX Spark compact mini-supercomputers, designed for enterprise clients and AI developers.
It's possible that the N1X could be an exact match for GB10, right down to the core layout. According to leaks, the N1X will offer up to 20 Arm-based compute cores and an integrated Blackwell-based graphics accelerator similar to the GeForce RTX 5070, with 48 SMs (6144 CUDA cores), as well as up to 128 GB of integrated RAM. The key question is how well the drivers will be optimized. Windows 11 for this Arm processor. It is believed that this is the reason for such a significant delay in the release of the consumer series of processors from Nvidia, whose announcement was expected last year.
According to the latest rumors, the first laptops and PCs based on N1X expected in the first quarter of 2026. Systems based on three other processor modifications should appear in the second quarter. The latest rumors also is knownLenovo is preparing six laptop models based on N1 and N1X processors, including gaming Legion models. Dell and its Alienware gaming brand are also developing two laptop models.
