Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, revealed that the forthcoming N1 APU, set for desktop usage, is actually the same as the GB10 ‘Superchip’ found in the DGX Spark AI box. This news was shared during a recent press conference regarding Nvidia’s collaboration with Intel. Huang stated:

“We also have a new Arm product that’s called N1. That processor is going to go into the DGX Spark and many other versions of products like that. And so we’re super excited about the Arm road map, and this doesn’t affect any of that.”

This revelation raises important considerations about the chip’s specifications and how it will perform in PC gaming, especially compared to its AI-focused applications.

Furthermore, much uncertainty exists surrounding the compatibility of Arm CPUs with current PC games, despite increased efforts from companies like Qualcomm and Microsoft to better support Arm architecture.

Overall, while the N1 chipset promises high specifications with a CUDA core count on par with the RTX 5070, concerns remain regarding whether it will effectively fulfill the demands of gaming applications versus its intended AI usages.
