Nvidia, Windows, and Arm posted a cryptic message pointing to Computex Taipei 2026, where Nvidia is expected to announce its Arm-based PC chips N1 and N1X. Leaked specs show N1 targets affordable laptops with up to 12 cores and 2560 CUDA cores at 18-45W, while N1X targets gaming laptops with up to 20 cores and 6144 CUDA cores at 45-80W.
Nvidia, Windows, and Arm posted a coordinated message on May 30 reading "A new era of PC. 25.0528, 121.5990"-coordinates that match the Computex Taipei venue. The post signals that Nvidia will finally unveil its Arm-based PC chips N1 and N1X during the Computex keynote on June 1, which will be live-streamed on YouTube.
VideoCardz, citing insider leaks, published detailed specifications. The N1 series comes in high-end (12-core, 20SM, 2560 CUDA cores) and low-end (10-core, 16SM, 2048 CUDA cores) variants within an 18-45W power envelope, targeting affordable laptops. The N1X series offers high-end (20-core, 48SM, 6144 CUDA cores) and low-end (18-core, 40SM, 5120 CUDA cores) versions at 45-80W, positioning it for gaming laptops. The leaked slides are dated 2024, indicating long development.
