Recent leaks from Geekbench benchmarks have unveiled that NVIDIA is preparing to launch its first Arm-based "superchip," the GB10 Grace Blackwell. According to Notebookcheck, this processor is set to be revealed at Computex 2025 later this month, where NVIDIA might also introduce the N1 and N1X alternatives designed for desktop and laptop usage. ASUS and Dell have already integrated the GB10 into their upcoming products, and NVIDIA has utilized it in its Project DIGITS AI supercomputer. The company announced the machine at CES 2025, stating that it will be available for purchase this month at a price of approximately $2,999.
The benchmark leaks have shown some discrepancies, such as labeling the chipset as Armv8 instead of Armv9. However, they highlight that the GB10's Cortex-X925 cores can achieve speeds of up to 3.9 GHz. Performance results indicate that the GB10 can rival high-end Arm and x86 processors in single-core performance, although Apple's M4 Max processors still lead in this aspect. The GB10 represents NVIDIA's entry into the workstation-grade Arm processor market and has the potential to disrupt the established players in the high-performance computing industry.
