Nvidia’s N1/N1X chips leak once again, this time tipped for release in first half of 2026 — hotly-anticipated chips to reportedly debut on Dell and Lenovo laptops

We’ve been waiting for Nvidia’s return to the consumer SoC market for a while, ever since the company’s partnership with MediaTek was first announced. The N1/N1X chips, born from this partnership, have been in the rumor mill for ages, but it finally feels like the time is right, with major leaks intersecting recently. Now, a new report from The Wall Street Journal says the N1/N1X SoCs are ready to launch in the first half of 2026.

“People familiar with Nvidia’s supply chain said PC makers including Dell Technologies and Lenovo were working with the chip maker on models using the Nvidia-MediaTek system-on-a-chip, which is built on architecture from U.K. chip designer Arm. The first PCs with the chip could come in the first half of this year, they said.”
