 "NVIDIA to soon launch Arm-based CPUs for laptops, likely launch at Computex 2025, reveal leaks")
NVIDIA is poised to make a major move into the Windows on Arm space with the upcoming launch of its own Arm-based system on chip (SoC) for laptops. This marks a significant step as the company traditionally focused on high-performance graphics cards but now looks to expand its reach in the mobile computing sector.
According to tipster who spotted some pretty interesting information from Lenovo’s Chinese website, including a job listing and a product naming scheme for an upcoming Yoga 2-in-1 laptop, NVIDIA’s new SoC could soon power Windows laptops.
A New Era of Mobile Computing with NVIDIA’s Arm-based SoC
The job listing on Lenovo’s board, which has since been removed, suggests that the company is already working on an NVIDIA-powered laptop. The listing for a software engineer references “New SoC NV N1x in-house design & development,” indicating that Lenovo is preparing to launch devices with this upcoming NVIDIA Arm-based chip.
The naming scheme of a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 device, also part of the leak, hints that this model will be one of the first to feature the new NVIDIA N1x SoC, though performance details remain unclear. Efficiency is expected to be a top priority for NVIDIA with this new mobile chip.
Gaming potential and collaboration with MediaTek
Further rumours suggest that NVIDIA’s new SoC could include some component of its latest RTX 5000 “Blackwell” GPU architecture, which would integrate a powerful GPU for mobile devices. This could put NVIDIA in direct competition with handheld gaming devices, such as the Asus ROG Ally, expanding its reach beyond traditional laptops into gaming PCs.
Additionally, sources indicate that NVIDIA is collaborating with MediaTek to develop the new N1x SoC, with NVIDIA handling the consumer PC versions, and MediaTek partnering for enterprise versions. This collaboration hints at a strong emphasis on performance, especially for high-end laptops and gaming PCs.
NVIDIA’s move into custom CPU designs
The most intriguing aspect of the upcoming NVIDIA SoC is its potential to introduce a new in-house CPU core design. While NVIDIA has produced Arm-based chips in the past, such as the Tegra series, these have typically relied on off-the-shelf CPU designs licensed from Arm.
For the N1x, NVIDIA is expected to use its own custom-designed CPU cores, which could offer performance improvements over Arm’s standard designs. This would allow NVIDIA to offer a more tailored solution for laptops, focusing not just on graphics, but also on custom CPU performance, which could set the N1x apart in the competitive laptop market.
Launch expected at Computex 2025
NVIDIA’s new Arm-based SoC is expected to be officially revealed at Computex 2025, which takes place from May 20-23 this year. The timing of the launch, along with the reports of production beginning soon, suggests that NVIDIA is rapidly approaching the final stages of development.
The company’s push into Arm-based SoCs for laptops signals a major shift in its strategy, moving beyond GPUs into a more comprehensive role in mobile and consumer computing. If successful, this could reshape the landscape for Windows on Arm devices, offering the best in graphics and performance in a single chip.
