NVIDIA’s Next-Gen “AI PC” SOC May Incorporate Arm Cortex X5 Blackhawk CPU, Blackwell RTX GPU & LPDDR6 Memory On A Singular Package
NVIDIA's next-gen "AI PC" SOC is rumored to incorporate Arm-based Blackhawk CPUs, Blackwell RTX GPUs & LPDDR6 memory.
NVIDIA's Next-Gen SOC Could Shake Things Up In The AI PC Segment If These Rumored Specs Are Correct, Blackhawk Arm CPU Cores, Blackwell RTX GPU & LPDDR6 Memory All Onboard The Same Package
Recently, we have seen several rumors and reports of NVIDIA potentially planning an entry into the client PC space with its own SOC. There are reports that these SOCs will also open the door for new consoles, primarily handhelds in the beginning. Just yesterday, CEOs of both NVIDIA & Dell teased this venture & it looks like we have a new rumor that might give us an early hint at what these SOCs would look like.

The details come from @XpeaGPU who we quoted within the previous article that talked about a potential handheld and console SOC being designed by NVIDIA based on the same architecture. It looks like NVIDIA is looking to incorporate several next-generation IPs on a single package which is looking like the way to go when it comes to modern-day PC designs. We have seen with Apple and now with Intel's Lunar Lake which offers multiple IPs on the same die with on-package memory and it makes for a very efficient and powerful solution in a small footprint.

For its next-generation SOC, NVIDIA is allegedly going to leverage a 3nm process node, reportedly either Intel or TSMC, and an advanced packaging solution to bring Arm-based Cortex X5 BlackHawk CPU cores & the Blackwell RTX GPU cores together. It's plausible that NVIDIA would use the BlackHawk CPU cores since they are reportedly partnering with MediaTek to create these SOCs.
MediaTek is reported to be using the same Arm architecture for its upcoming Dimensity 9400 chip and is said to tackle the likes of Apple A17 Pro and
