NVIDIA is poised to shake up the PC industry. Confirmed reports from January 20, 2026, indicate that the tech giant is finalizing the release of its own Arm-based CPUs, codenamed N1 and N1X, designed specifically to run Windows.
For years, Apple has dominated the high-efficiency laptop market with its M-series chips. Now, NVIDIA is entering the ring, reportedly partnering with MediaTek. The upcoming N1X chip is expected to be a powerhouse, combining advanced Arm CPU cores with NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell graphics architecture.
This move targets a major gap in the market: high-performance Windows laptops that offer excellent battery life without sacrificing gaming or creative capabilities. With a rumored launch in Q2 2026, NVIDIA is directly challenging Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD for dominance in the next generation of personal computing.
Conclusion from HYPERPC:
"At HYPERPC, we are excited about the potential of high-performance Arm architecture. The integration of Blackwell graphics into a CPU could allow us to build lighter, cooler, yet incredibly powerful systems for creators and gamers. We are closely monitoring the N1X launch to explore how it can be integrated into our premium lineup."
