US EditionNvidia’s AI PC Delay May Be Just What the Industry Needs
GLOBAL MARKETS WHERE NVIDIA AND MEDIATEK OPERATE, JUL 21 – The N1X AI PC chip delay results from Microsoft OS setbacks, Nvidia's silicon redesign, and declining premium laptop demand, with enterprise devices prioritized for early 2026 launch.
- Nvidia and MediaTek postponed the launch of their Arm-based N1X AI PC processor from the second half of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026.
- This delay results from a serious silicon flaw requiring a full redesign, delays in Microsoft's next-generation Windows on Arm update, and weakening notebook demand.
- The N1X platform now targets enterprise devices first, with Dell, HP, and Lenovo leading rollout amid a cautious consumer market and a maturing AI PC ecosystem by 2026.
- Benchmark tests show the N1X chip achieved a 3096 single-core and 18,837 multi-core score on Geekbench 6 at 2.81 GHz, with a redesigned version expected at CES 2026.
- The postponement allows Nvidia and Microsoft to better integrate hardware and software, potentially leading to stronger adoption and a more meaningful advance in AI PCs.
