NVIDIA was expected to unveil its new Arm-based AI PC processor at CES 2025, but that obviously didn't happen -- we got the GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPU unveiling -- but now we've got some rather huge leaks on the AI PC processor that is still cooking in the ovens at NVIDIA.
In a new video from leaker Moore's Law is Dead, we're learning that NVIDIA's purported Arm-based AI PC processor -- which it's reportedly working with MediaTek on, and will be fabbed by TSMC -- and that we can expect close to GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti on desktop, or even RTX 5080 Laptop GPU performance... wow.
NVIDIA's just-announced, and soon-to-be-released GeForce RTX 5070 ships with 6144 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR7 memory, and 988 TOPS of AI performance. NVIDIA could use a monster Blackwell GPU and tweak the amount of CPU cores that they want, and it would be an absolute Strix Halo APU killer, AMD's new Ryzen AI Max+ 300 series processors that were unveiled at CES 2025.

MLID's source told him: "Just so you know, that Blackwell SoC shown inside"Project Digits", some variant of that is also meant to be used as an APU in laptops, and actually I had heard that Jensen was supposed to reveal the laptop variants of that at CES".
The source continued, adding: "I don't know if plans have changed due to concerns about Windows on Arm or something, but that is a possibility since leadership is very sensitive about launching this sort of product too soon. They want a complete twinner with their first-generation of laptop APUs. Oh, and I'm unsure of exact GPU specs - but I can tell you that the CPU die at least has 10 x P-Cores & 10 x E-Cores for a total of 20 cores in the full "double chip".
