Intel and NVIDIA are preparing to unveil new silicon products at COMPUTEX 2026 in June. Intel plans to announce the Arc G3E, which marks its first processor designed specifically for gaming handhelds. NVIDIA is expected to reveal the N1X, representing its first consumer-grade system on a chip for personal computers.
Architecture details for the Panther Lake based Arc G3E processor
The Arc G3E will utilize the Panther Lake architecture and integrate the B390 integrated graphics processor. Industry reports suggest that combining XeSS upscaling and frame generation technologies allows the Arc G3E to exceed the gaming performance of the AMD Radeon 890M iGPU. NVIDIA's N1X is derived from the GB10 platform and combines an Arm-based CPU with NVIDIA GPU IP to address graphics performance limitations in Arm-based PCs.
The upcoming hardware launches arrive during a period of reduced market hype for COMPUTEX. Memory price increases and lower PC shipments have dampened enthusiasm for the event. Industry insiders believe that no other major new platforms will be released this year, making these two announcements potentially the primary focus of the show.
Intel has not confirmed the official launch window for the Arc G3E, though reports indicate a strong possibility of an announcement at the conference. Similarly, NVIDIA's N1X is considered a major focus of the event due to its strategic importance and current secrecy surrounding the product details.
