[ Gearbest Technology News]After a long silence, rumors about Nvidia entering the consumer CPU market finally made substantial progress. Although Nvidia did not officially release related products at this year's Taipei Computer Exhibition, a recent Geekbench 6 running score leak gave the outside world a first glimpse of the performance of Nvidia's self-developed ARM processor N1X.
It is reported that Nvidia is developing two ARM architecture processors, namely “N1” for laptops and “N1X” for desktop platforms. The N1X leaked this time is the latter. Its test platform is the unreleased HP 8EA3 system, running Ubuntu 24 operating system and Geekbench 6.2.2 testing software.
Judging from the test data, the N1X single-core score is 3096 points and the multi-core score is 18837 points, far exceeding the mainstream systems currently on the market equipped with AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 and MAX+ 395 processors. Especially in single-core performance, N1X has taken a big step ahead of AMD and even approaches the level of some high-end x86 desktop processors.
According to data, the N1X processor has 20 threads and is very likely to adopt the same 10-core (Cortex-X925) + 10-small core (Cortex-A725) architecture as the Nvidia GB10 Superchip, with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.051GHz and a daily operating frequency of about 2.81GHz. In terms of memory configuration, the system identifies it as 119GB, which is presumably part of the 128GB is occupied by the GPU, or there is a read error.
It is worth mentioning that although the GPU specifications of N1X are not disclosed in this run score, if N1X and GB10 Superchip are the same core or module, it is very likely to integrate up to 6144 CUDA cores – this configuration is comparable to NVIDIA RTX 5070 graphics card. This means that N1X not only shows strong strength in CPU performance, but its graphics processing capabilities may also become the focus of the market.
Although Nvidia has not yet announced the release time and detailed specifications of the N1X, the leaked running score data has undoubtedly greatly increased the market's expectations for it. As the trend of AI PCs accelerates, the balance between performance and power consumption of ARM architecture CPUs is gradually emerging. Whether Nvidia can take this opportunity to shake the long-term dominance of x86 in the consumer CPU field is worthy of continuous attention.
