NVIDIA's N1 SoC, designed for gaming laptops, has appeared on a motherboard alongside 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory running at 8,533 MT/s. SK hynix modules power this setup, as seen in leaked images from Goofish. Dell and Lenovo have confirmed this new NVIDIA laptop platform will launch this year.

This marks NVIDIA's first gaming laptop SoC, following its GB10 SoC for the DGX Spark workstation which tested MediaTek collaboration. The N1 SoC features 20 CPU cores (10 Cortex-X925 and 10 Cortex-A725) and a 'Blackwell' GPU optimized for low power, with up to 6,144 CUDA cores. The motherboard includes USB-C/Thunderbolt 4/5, USB-A, and HDMI ports.

NVIDIA plans to introduce these Arm-based SoCs around Computex 2026, competing with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 in the Windows on Arm ecosystem. Microsoft has prepared Windows 11 26H1 exclusively for these platforms.
