Several major PC manufacturers plan to launch Copilot+ laptops powered by NVIDIA's Arm-architecture processors in the first half of 2026, challenging the mainstream notebook market dominated by Qualcomm platforms and Intel/AMD x86 architectures. NVIDIA is collaborating with MediaTek to develop N1 and N1X PC-grade system-on-chips, integrating CPU, GPU, and NPU. Manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo have planned multiple new products, with Lenovo developing at least six notebook models based on N1 and N1X chips, while Dell is designing Alienware gaming laptops and XPS notebooks equipped with N1X. These NVIDIA chips are expected to outperform traditional x86 processors in power efficiency while maintaining comparable CPU and GPU performance, with NPU capabilities potentially surpassing Intel's and AMD's latest-generation processors.
