Fully Nvidia-powered gaming laptops could be here soon, with no need for AMD or Intel CPUs
Nvidia will soon be releasing its own laptop CPUs that do away completely with AMD or Intel CPU technology, and instead rely on Arm-based CPU tech built right into Nvidia's own system-on-a-chip (SoC). The Nvidia N1 chip is expected to power a range of laptops from partners such as Dell and Lenovo, but gaming performance and compatibility of the devices isn't yet known. Nvidia has produced its own Arm-based SoCs before, and still does so for applications such as in-car entertainment. However, it has been a while since the company released a chip directly intended to power consumer PC devices. With the CPU portion of the SoC being based on Arm technology, low power consumption is expected to be a major benefit of these chips, but with most PC games and apps developed for use on x86 CPU designs, as made by AMD and Intel, it's far from a certainty that these will end up ranking among the best gaming laptops.
