The first results of NVIDIA N1X processor tests in Geekbench appeared online
The first data on processor performance has appeared online NVIDIA N1X. The chip, aimed at the mass market, passed the Geekbench 6.2.2 Preview test for Linux AArch64, scoring 3096 points in single-core mode and 18837 points in multi-core. The test was conducted on an HP system with Ubuntu 24.04.1 and 128 GB of RAM. The base frequency of the processor was 2.81 GHz, although the boost clock speed is expected to be around 4 GHz.
These results put the N1X in line with current offerings from AMD (such as the Zen 5-based Strix Halo) and Intel (the Core series Ultra 2) While NVIDIA was focused on its GB200 Grace Blackwell superchip at Computex, the N1X's appearance in benchmarks indicates the company is preparing to enter the broader CPU market.
The N1X is expected to be aimed at desktop systems, while the N1 is aimed at mobile. Previously, these chips were expected to have between 8 and 12 cores, but the latest information suggests that the N1X could be a variant of the GB10, containing up to 10 Cortex-X925 cores and 10 Cortex-A725 cores.
NVIDIA hasn't made any official announcements about the N1 series yet. More information and benchmarks are expected to come in the coming weeks and months, but an N1 series release this year is unlikely.
