Nvidia may not be announcing its next-generation desktop graphics cards any time soon, but convincing leaks over the past few days suggest that new hardware is still very much on the way. Images have surfaced on a Chinese equivalent to Facebook Marketplace, Goofish, showing an engineering motherboard thought to be the basis of a high-end laptop design that could offer an alternative to the traditional x86 processors found in most Windows laptops and PCs.
The photos show a laptop-shaped motherboard with a Nvidia-branded chip in the centre, flanked by an impressive 128GB of shared LPDDR5X memory. Even last year that would be much more RAM than you’d expect on even a high-end professional laptop, and the recent AI-driven price surges makes the total even more astonishing. Of course, it suggests a focus on local AI and/or content creation workloads.
The leak lines up with Nvidia’s acknowledgement earlier this year that it was working with MediaTek on a low-power but high-performance ARM chipset, which comes in N1 and faster N1X varieties. The processor appears to be derived from Nvidia’s DGX Spark system, which is an extremely powerful £4000 AI-focused mini PC, with rumours suggesting a heterogeneous “big-little” architecture with 10 performance cores and 10 efficiency cores in the full-fat N1X.
The SoC’s graphics capabilities…
