Nvidia N1X SoC revealed in Lenovo listing

Whispers of an Nvidia-designed SoC for laptops are growing louder, with fresh leaks suggesting that the company is preparing to enter the Arm-based processor scene with the N1X.

The rumours originate from the data mining efforts by WalkingCat (via VideoCardz), who uncovered evidence of a new Lenovo laptop with an unusual naming scheme. Lenovo typically uses letters like “A” for AMD, “I” for Intel, and “Q” for Qualcomm to denote the processor platform in its Yoga 2-in-1 laptops. However, a new “N” designation has surfaced, potentially hinting at an Nvidia-powered device.

Further digging by leaker Hoang Anh Phu revealed references to a mysterious “N1X” chip attributed to Nvidia within Lenovo's job postings. This has fuelled speculation that the N1X could be the name of Nvidia's first SoC designed for consumer laptops. The leaker also added that this high-end SoC has been designed in collaboration with Mediatek. It's expected to be based on Blackwell architecture, offering about 180 to 200 TOPS of AI performance. The release/announcement is expected to occur at Computex 2025 and should come alongside an N1 SoC for the mid-range segment.

Nvidia's strength lies in its software and driver expertise, an area where Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series has faced challenges. If the green team can deliver a powerful and efficient Arm-based SoC with strong graphics performance and a solid Windows on Arm experience, it could disrupt the laptop market and intensify competition, ultimately benefiting consumers with more options.

KitGuru says: The potential applications for an Nvidia SoC extend beyond traditional laptops. High-performance tablets, new 2-in-1 devices, and handheld gaming systems powered by Nvidia's SoC would be something we would definetely be interested in.
