Features of the first CPU from Nvidia

GeekBench (God bless it) has once again leaked information, this time with the characteristics of the first desktop processor from Nvidia N1X. According to the information received, the flagship ARM processor from Nvidia will have 20 processor cores (in two clusters of 10 cores) of the ARMv8 architecture, which can operate at a frequency of up to 4 GHz. Preliminary information on processor performance showed 3096 points in the single-core test and 18837 in the multi-core test. This is not much for desktop computers, but it should be noted that this is an engineering sample, so the company will almost certainly adjust its operating mode and the performance will increase before the commercial launch.

As for the video core, there are reportedly 48 computing units. Compute units usually mean clusters of video cores, so this most likely means 48 units of 128 compute cores = 6144 Blackwell architecture video cores. If the processor does not have strict TDP limits, then you should expect better results than the mobile RTX 5070. The processor will also support CUDA computing acceleration units.

Currently, Nvidia has no major events planned for this year. At Computex, Nvidia did not say a word about its CPUs. Previous rumours suggested that the company had postponed the announcement of its first processor from 2025 to 2026, and that it would go on sale closer to 2027. It is likely that during this time, Nvidia will revise and improve its architecture.
