Some time ago, various references to new hardware from HP, Dell and Lenovo with the new Nvidia/MediaTek processors were spotted on Geekbench and elsewhere.
Among other things, there is a “Nvidia Tegra N1 car” designated chip with 10 computing cores, which was tested with 32 GB RAM. In addition, an HP system with ” has been available since mid-2025 Nvidia N1x“, which uses 20 computing cores and a full 128 GB of RAM. A “Dell 16 Premium” was also spotted in import-export databases, which is supposed to come with the N1x and could probably become part of the revived Dell that the planned devices with the new N1x are likely to be part of the Legion series for gaming applications.
