The top-end version supports 24-128 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory for laptops and mini PCs, while the lower-end version offers 24-32 GB and targets laptops as Copilot+ AI PCs running Windows 11 for Arm. Both chips are officially named N1X, with no separate N1, and will launch next month with systems from Acer, ASUS, Dell, MSI, HP, Microsoft, Lenovo, and other OEMs.", "body_md": "At IFA today, NVIDIA confirmed that the upcoming N1X SoC for the RTX Spark PC platform will come in two configurations. The top-end model will feature a 20-core \"Grace\" CPU and a GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores based on the \"Blackwell\" microarchitecture. NVIDIA envisions this version for both laptops and mini PCs, offering between 24 GB and 128 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. The second configuration is slightly less powerful, with an 18-core \"Grace\" CPU, a \"Blackwell\" GPU with 5,120 CUDA cores, and 24-32 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. This version is specifically aimed at laptops, which will be classified as Copilot+ AI PCs running Windows 11 for Arm.\n\nBoth chips are officially called \"N1X,\" and there is no \"N1\" as previously thought. They are simply different configurations of the same chip, likely due to binning efforts during production. NVIDIA will launch these chips next month, and we expect to see systems from Acer, ASUS, Dell, MSI, HP, Microsoft, Lenovo, and many other OEMs. Pricing details are currently unknown, but with more memory, we can expect higher prices from any OEM, as memory is currently the most scarce resource.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5120c-gpu", "canonical_source": "https://www.techpowerup.com/352310/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6-144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5-120c-gpu", "published_at": "2026-09-03 18:02:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-03 18:25:00.852593+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-chips", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-products"], "entities": ["NVIDIA", "RTX Spark", "Grace", "Blackwell", "Acer", "ASUS", "Dell", "MSI"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5120c-gpu", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5120c-gpu.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5120c-gpu.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-n1x-comes-in-two-skus-20c-cpu-and-6144c-gpu-or-18c-cpu-and-5120c-gpu.jsonld"}}
