NVIDIA's new N1X AI PC chip performance leaked: ready to battle AMD's new Strix Halo APUs

Yeah it’s all ARM in here, so is it’s more a question if Nvidia are ready to battle Apple and Google.

Tons of potential for building a cheap hackintosh, if Nvidia unofficially push official drivers out the back door.

theres also x86 emulation (windows on arm), and nvidia seems to be going in that direction - as a proper PC chip
again nothings set in stone at the moment

Why would anyone want to emulate X86 on ARM.

Most PC users wouldn't, but it's your only option if you own a Mac from recent years and want access to a wider range of software. I'm sure that gamers aren't going to be switching to ARM any time soon, but it's proven to be a relatively frictionless switchover for Apple that hasn't put people off buying their machines.

Probably more targeting productivity/ML anyway. It'll be a great Windows/Linux alternative to a Mac if they get it right.

This isn’t Mac hardware though, but there’s friction with that too.

Linux yes (although Nvidia have a patchy history there) Natively running Windows on ARM? Yeah probably not, unless dirt cheap… And even then probably still, probably most definitely not…

Nvidia has its own Linux OS build anyway.

Yea I wouldn't hold my breathe for a decent Windows, although with the recent Snapdragon attempt, there might be a willingness to get this working too.

I see their Linux support is built on top of Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Rocky Linux. Will have to see how it goes and whether people will want to daily drive their implementations.

It’s pretty well done, at least on the DGX EPYC stuffs. I’d imagine it would a similar experience as the spark system.
