Summary Nvidia will reportedly enter the Windows on Arm space with N1 and N1X SoCs (more details will likely be revealed at Computex 2026).
N1X: 20-core (10+10) CPU, 6,144 CUDA cores; 45-80W power envelope.
Rumors started to surface that this might be the debut of the Nvidia N1 and N1X chips, but nothing had been confirmed.
The N1X chip will be the big performer, clocking in a 20 (10x10) CPU configuration and 6144 CUDA cores.
The Nvidia N1 will be the cheaper variant, clocking in with a 12 (8+4) and 10 (7+3) CPU configuration.

N1 targets efficiency: 12- and 10-core configs with 2,560/2,048 CUDA cores at 18-45W.
It's only a few days until Computex 2026, and we've already heard from several companies eager to show off their new hardware ahead of the event. However, some information has landed in our laps a little earlier than the companies expected. We've gotten a glimpse of what Nvidia is cooking behind the scenes, and it's looking like a huge shake-up for the laptop industry.

A few days ago, we saw hints that Microsoft and Nvidia were brewing something huge. We then learned that Arm posted the exact same message Microsoft and Nvidia used, hinting that the Windows on Arm space was about to get a huge boost. Rumors started to surface that this might be the debut of the Nvidia N1 and N1X chips, but nothing had been confirmed.
If VideoCardz reporting is accurate, Nvidia will drop the details tomorrow, June 1st. The N1X chip will be the big performer, clocking in a 20 (10x10) CPU configuration and 6144 CUDA cores. There will also be a config for an 18 (9+9), 5120 CUDA core variant, and both will support the 45-80W power profile.
The Nvidia N1 will be the cheaper variant, clocking in with a 12 (8+4) and 10 (7+3) CPU configuration. These will come with 2560 and 2048 CUDA cores, respectively. They'll both work for an 18-45W power profile.
Microsoft has been working hard to get Windows on Arm off the ground lately, and until now, it has had only Qualcomm's support. With Nvidia entering the scene, the trio could push the Windows on Arm ecosystem into territories we could only have dreamed of before. We'll just have to hold on tight for Computex 2026 to see all the juicy details.
