A laptop motherboard housing an Nvidia chip unknown to the battalion was put up for sale on a Chinese platform. This chip seems to be the new ARM N1 or N1X solution expected on a new generation of thin and powerful gaming laptops.
Nvidia’s Arlésienne, the N1 / N1X chip that we’ve been talking about for over a year now, and that we’re still waiting for, could well have been seen on Goofish, a Chinese peer-to-peer sales platform. Regularly used for the resale of prototypes that have fallen into the wrong hands, this platform places us this week in front of the motherboard of what appears to be a 13 or 14 inch laptop, or tablet, which has not yet been announced.
The matter could stay there, except that a mysterious Nvidia chip sits there, alongside 8 SK Hynix RAM modules bearing the serial number H58G78CK8B – a priori referring to a total of 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8533.
A photographed Nvidia N1 or N1X?
This Nvidia chip, whose references have been meticulously blurred, is reminiscent of – through its elongated format, its general appearance and its apparent capacity to accommodate RAM – an SoC already marketed by the chameleon firm: the SuperChip GB10, designed for AI and workstations. An SoC which we know will serve as the technical basis for, you see us coming, this famous Nvidia N1 / N1X chip.

These three photos, which do not tell us much about the said chip, in any case allow us to support the idea of an upcoming launch for a first batch of equipped devices. We know, for example, that the Nvidia N1 / N1X should power a slew of Lenovo laptops, as well as certain Dell / Alienware models.
As a reminder, the Nvidia N1 / N1X chip (version X being presented as the most powerful of the two versions) should be based on an ARMv8 architecture, include a 20-core CPU component (10 Cortex Blackwell » bringing together 6144 CUDA cores.
