NVIDIA and Mediatek work together on new desktop and laptop chips. Someone spotted the first N1X processor online during testing. The company wants to compete with regular computer processors that people buy every day. NVIDIA plans to make cheaper chips for normal users instead of just expensive supercomputers. The N1X chip scored over 3,000 points on single tasks and 18,000 points on multiple tasks.
The N1X uses the same ARM design as NVIDIA's powerful GB10 chip but costs less money. Early reports suggested the chip would have 8 or 12 cores for processing. The actual N1X contains 10 fast Cortex-X925 cores and 10 regular Cortex-A725 cores. HP built the test computer that ran Ubuntu software with 128 GB of memory. The chip runs at 2.81 GHz normally but can boost up to 4 GHz when needed.
Test scores show the N1X competes well against current AMD and Intel processors. The performance matches Core Ultra and Zen 5 chips that other companies make. NVIDIA has not announced the N1 series officially to the public. The company will likely reveal more details about these processors in coming months. People should not expect to buy these chips until next year at the earliest.
