- N1X n1x chip has been seen in a geekbench result
- The specifications show that the integrated GPU has 6,144 CUDA cores
- That is equivalent to RTX 5070 for the pure core count, but there is much more in what to have in which it is performance
Do you remember the rumored CPU of Nvidia that caused a great buzz in the vine? Apparently, we have seen this consumption chip in a reference leak, where the details of the spilled specifications are the key aspect.
Tom Hardware informs that the N1X chip, which is based on the arm (such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon X CPUs), has been seen in a Geekbench result, specifically for the OPENCL (graphics) test, where it obtained 46,361.
That score makes no sense at this time. This is an early engineering sample of the N1X (in theory), and even then, if you want to measure the performance of the graphics, Geekbench is far from being the first option of synthetic reference points.
However, as noted, this gives us a tempting vision of the specification, which shows that (add salt now) the N1X will have 20 cores, apparently divided into a couple of groups of 10 cores. That is the processor itself, but we also see the GPU integrated here, which is shown that it has 48 transmission multiprocessors, which is equivalent to 6,144 CUDA nuclei.
That sounds like much, right? Well, it is, and in fact, those familiar with NVIDIA graphics cards will realize that this is in the baseball stadium for a medium -range current generation GPU, to be precise, the RTX 5070, which, in fact, has that exact core count.
ANALYSIS: Cairously optimistic
So are we obtaining a compact consumption chip that could go on budget laptops or hand hand to deliver the same table speeds as the powerful RTX 5070? In a word, no, but the N1X still seems to be formed as a promising piece of silicon, and one that will have rivals sitting and taking note.
As for the reasons why the yield cannot simply be extracted from the amount of nuclei that are seen in the GPU here, it is not a patch in the RTX 5070 at this reference point, of course, there are other important factors at stake apart from the basic basic count.
That includes the speed of the clock and the food supplied to the GPU, which is a very different scenario with graphics integrated in a chip like this versus a complete graphics card on a desktop PC. In addition to considering the power envelope, add the bandwidth limitations also, in terms of pipe tasks to the system’s memory, without a vram on board, of course, and the result is a large number of winds against.
That will not prevent the N1X from being a potentially sterling artist for a chip all in one, but it does not make much sense to guess the exact level of graphic performance that it could provide at this stage. (Certainly not of the reference point filtered here, as already noted).
Tom makes an interesting observation, which is that the leaked specifications coincide with the ‘superchip’ GB10 of Nvidia created for a powerful AI performance and marking the beginning of the era of the small IA supercomputer (in the photo above). There is no reason why Nvidia could not take another turn to this for consumer -directed devices, including mini PCs and laptops, and in fact, players are particularly excited about the possible use in hand computers.
For now, however, this is still in the territory of rumors. If you believe in previous speculation, we could see the NVIDIA consumption CPU revealed at the end of this year, before a launch in early 2026.
