NVIDIA ARM PC SoC specifications leak with next-gen Cortex CPU core and GeForce GPU

NVIDIA is no stranger to developing ARM processors. The company developed the Tegra SoC that powers the Nintendo Switch and is also rumored to produce the Tegra T239 processor at the heart of the next-generation Switch. It now appears that NVIDIA is ready to utilize its experience of developing ARM SoCs for producing an ARM PC processor for Windows.

NVIDIA’s ARM-based PC SoC reportedly includes the latest Cortex X5 “BlackHawk” CPU core alongside a GPU based on the company’s Blackwell architecture. Additionally, leaker XpeaGPU claims that the SoC features on-package LPDDR6 memory and will be built on the TSMC N3P process. But, as pointed out by VideoCardz, Kepler_L2 disagrees with the process node choice and suggests Intel 3 nm instead.

Additionally, it appears Microsoft is also bringing all of Windows 11’s AI trickery to NVIDIA’s chip. From this, we can infer that the SoC should have equal to or more than 40 TOPs of NPU performance, a requirement for Copilot+ PCs that are designed to run Windows 11’s new AI features.

Finally, NVIDIA’s ARM SoC for Windows will seemingly release in 2025. This is in line with a previous rumor which alleged that MediaTek has partnered with NVIDIA for an ARM PC CPU for 2025.

Aside from Dell and NVIDIA hinting at a Windows ARM processor for 2025, we have no other official details. So, take the specifications listed here with a grain of salt.
