Jensen Huang has publicly acknowledged NVIDIA’s N1 PC processor work with MediaTek. In comments to local media in Taiwan, Huang described the joint project as a system-on-chip designed for “AI computers,” with a focus on low power and high performance.
The N1 branding has been tied to NVIDIA’s push into AI PCs and laptops built around an Arm CPU complex developed with MediaTek. Huang’s remarks are the clearest on-record confirmation yet that the chip is being positioned as a PC-class platform rather than another mobile-focused SoC.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang attended the year-end party of NVIDIA Taiwan yesterday (30th) and celebrated with more than 2,000 employees. Previously, it was rumored that NVIDIA was collaborating with MediaTek (2454) to develop the N1 series processors. In an interview, Huang stated that the collaboration with MediaTek resulted in a very powerful system-on-a-chip (SoC) with low power consumption but excellent performance, designed specifically for computers with powerful AI capabilities.

DGX Spark is marketed around the GB10 “Superchip” and a large unified memory configuration intended for local AI work. This is the reference point many leaks use when discussing what N1X could look like in consumer PCs.
Speaking of leaks, N1X may match GB10 closely, down to the core layout. The same reports point to a 20-core Arm CPU configuration and a Blackwell-based GPU block listed at 48 SMs, or 6,144 CUDA cores. That’s a lot of GPU cores, matching that of desktop RTX 5070, but keep in mind this is a low-power platform for laptops, so it may not be as powerful. Also, the big question is how well Windows 11 on ARM GPU drivers are optimized at launch, and some believe this is the reason the N1 series was delayed this much.
According to the most recent rumors, the unveiling is expected in Q1 2026 . The same reports place the first laptops in Q2 2026, with broader availability later in the first half of 2026, although some coverage still points to a later rollout. We already know about several laptops, including the Dell XPS or Lenovo Legion , both considered premium and gaming-oriented.
