There has been murmurings of NVIDIA N1/N1X processors soon appearing in a laptop near you, but there has not been anything concrete on what laptop it’ll be. As reported by Videocardz, datamining from Huang514613 has found several unannounced Lenovo laptop SKUs that highly suggest the presence of said NVIDIA chips, including one Legion gaming laptop too.

NVIDIA N1X Will Power A Lenovo Legion Laptop

Lenovo’s laptop SKU numbers are pretty straightforward to decode when compared to the alphabetical soup found in other brands, and here’s the list of names discovered:

– Ideapad Slim 5 14N1V11
– Ideapad Slim 5 16N1V11
– Yoga Pro 7 15N1V11
– Yoga Pro 7 15N1X11
– Yoga 9 2-in-1 16N1X11
– Legion 7 15N1X11

Deciphering the code is easy: the first two digit is the screen size (14 means 14-inch, 16 means 16-inch, and so on), followed by what is usually a three-letter code based on what is used in Intel and AMD-based models. In this case, there’s β€œN1V” and β€œN1X”, where β€œN1V” points to the vanilla N1 chip, while β€œN1X” is self-explanatory. Thus, we can deduce that three laptops listed above will use N1, while another three – including the Legion laptop – will be powered by N1X.

Based on what is known so far, N1X will be a highly similar if not outright identical to the GB10 Superchip found in AI mini-PCs (or β€œAI Supercomputer” in NVIDIA speak) like DGX Spark. This means a total of 20 Arm Cortex CPU cores (10x Cortex-A925 and 10x Cortex-A725), paired with a GPU packing 6,144 CUDA cores comparable to an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. TDP is rated up to 120W, but this likely will depend on individual laptop’s cooling capability.

While nothing suggests this yet, it’s not ruled out that the consumer version may see some cut-down specs when silicon yield is factored into the equation. A silicon that packs an RTX 4070-equivalent GPU with 20 CPU cores is certainly going to take quite a sizeable die area, and that will certainly introduce imperfections that warrant cut-down variations, just like what happens in GPUs.
