Although CES 2026 was a massive disappointment for consumers, Computex 2026 looks to inject some much-needed excitement back into the beleaguered tech space.
In what is arguably the biggest consumer hardware launch of the year, Nvidia and ARM have already started teasing their highly anticipated N1X laptop chip, an APU based on the same GB10 chip used in the DGX Spark. Now, as Jensen prepares to take the stage at Computex next week, let’s take a look at what Nvidia has planned for the show.
Nvidia’s Laptop Chip Finally Launches, Packing 20 CPU Cores With An RTX 5070 Equivalent GPU
Nvidia, Arm, and Microsoft have taken Twitter by storm recently, with a series of cryptic X posts declaring “A new era of PC”, accompanied by coordinates pointing to Taipei Music Center. This obviously refers to the much-anticipated N1X laptop APU, packing 20 ARM cores and 6,144 CUDA cores into a single package, all sharing a unified memory pool over a 256-bit LPPDR5X bus.
In theory, this should put N1X ahead of AMD’s strongest APU, but as we’ve seen with Qualcomm’s laptop chips, real-world gaming performance is still hit-or-miss on ARM-based CPUs, not to mention the significant memory bandwidth deficit with LPDDR5X. Another important note is that although the GPU has the same core count as a desktop RTX 5070, power consumption will be significantly lower, so expectations…
