The Goofish listing claims that whatever device this motherboard is from is coming in the second half of the year, too, bringing "consumer-grade AI PCs" to the public. The board is also mentioned as an "Nvidia N1 AI book engineering sample" and that it "should be used for tablet computers." The text is translated, but the general sentiment is still carried over: N1 is intended for both conventional laptops and hybrid 2-in-1 devices.

erazog The chip is so significant because after years of failed efforts, Nvidia has the chance to reinvigorate Microsoft's Windows-on-Arm initiative with silicon that can actually rival legacy options. Qualcomm's GPU drivers have held back the Snapdragon X Elite family, so Nvidia has the perfect gap to fill here. Once launched, this will be the Green Team's first consumer CPU since the Tegra X1 in the Shield TV back in 2015. The vast majority of laptops sold are done so for productivity reasons not gaming, please don't start automatically promoting Nvidia's efforts just because their is a possibility gaming is going to better, Nvidia will likely run into similar problems with anti-cheat services. Qualcomm hasn't been sitting still and has improved its GPU drivers with committing to multiple release each year so the window that Nvidia needed to show up Qualcomm has passed, plus we really don't need Nvidia controlling more of the PC market that's not good for the PC's future.

das_stig Whatever it specs and knowing NV, the price will be high, needs to come down to challenge the Appel Neo. Do we need 5000 series GPU's, would a revamped 3000 not be good enough and keep costs down? Manufacturers still haven't learnt from the past, users need good enough not the very best, thats why Netbooks and Chromebooks took off ! Reply
alan.campbell99 I'm certain that's a fan cutout so a small laptop rather than a tablet It'd say, I'm not sure this purported N1/RAM combo would work in a cramped fanless tablet design with suffering thermal throttling. Reply
