Overview

• Nvidia and MediaTek are expected to unveil their jointly developed N1 and N1X processors at Computex 2025, scheduled for May 19 and 20 in Taipei, Taiwan.
• The processors combine MediaTek’s Arm-based CPU cores with Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs to form the GB10 platform, targeting AI workstations and Windows PCs.
• MediaTek has reserved significant FCBGA packaging capacity, hinting at preparations for high-volume production, though technical challenges may delay retail availability until 2026.
• The N1 and N1X chips are reported to feature up to 10 Cortex-X925 high-performance cores and 10 Cortex-A725 cores, with potential lower-power variants for broader market appeal.
• This collaboration seeks to diversify the Windows-on-Arm landscape, currently dominated by Qualcomm and AMD, with a focus on energy-efficient AI capabilities.
