The hardcore microarchitectrure analysts at Chips and Cheese have turned their beady gaze towards Nvidia's GB10 'Superchip' and concluded that its CPU cores are capable of achieving true desktop-class performance equal to AMD and Intel's latest chips. Which is intriguing because because no lesser an authority than CEO Jensen Huang has said that GB10 is the basis for Nvidia's upcoming CPU for the PC, codenamed N1X. But one major question remains, namely games emulation.
Chips and Cheese, as usual, has gone to town on GB10's CPU cores, found inside a Dell Pro Max sporting Nvidia's processor. They're actually Cortex X925 cores designed by Arm and licensed by Nvidia for the GB10 chip, which thus far has been marketed as a device for running local AI models, also including in Nvidia's own DGX Spark box.
