The N1 processor, a collaboration between MediaTek and NVIDIA, could soon debut in Taiwan at Computex 2026 in June. This latest rumor has its roots in a recent report from CTEE (via VideoCardz), which states that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang could be delivering a keynote and has booked the Taipei International Convention Center from June 1-4 while Computex 2026 runs from June 2-5. If true, this would be a similar scheduling timeframe as seen during CES 2026. As what should now be considered the norm, AI will be at the forefront of these events, but some suspect that the N1 will get an official reveal.
It’s been over six months since NVIDIA confirmed that the N1 uses the same silicon as its DGX Spark Processor. Featuring GB10 “Grace Blackwell” technology, the arm-based N1 is designed for laptop and other mobile applications and would be a direct competitor to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Windows-based processors, which are still encountering challenges in gaining adoption from PC users.
Jensen had already previously said that he would attend this year’s Computex and deliver a keynote, so news of his reserving space for an NVIDIA event is really no surprise. Numerous other industry execs, such as Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Marvell CEO Matt Murphy, and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, are among those who have already been confirmed to be attending.
“This year’s exhibition has reached a new record in scale, attracting approximately 1,500 domestic and international companies to participate, utilizing 6,000 booths, and fully connecting the “COMPUTEX Technology Lifestyle Circle” from R&D and manufacturing to end-user applications.”

It will be exciting if the N1 or N1X makes an appearance, as many are curious to see how this powerful technology has been scaled down to bring value with its performance in a mobile package. Intel has been making great strides with its Arrow Lake refresh processors, so more competition could only better products for consumers, but the real question will be how well the N1 or N1X can run Windows-based apps.
