NVIDIA’s GB10 Arm Superchip Looks Promising in Leaked Benchmark Results

Recent benchmark leaks from Geekbench have revealed that NVIDIA’s first Arm-based “superchip,” the GB10 Grace Blackwell, is on the verge of its market launch as reported by Notebookcheck. This processor is expected to be showcased at Computex 2025 later this month, where NVIDIA may also roll out the N1 and N1X (MediaTek confirmed in April that their CEO—Dr. Rick Tsai—will be delivering a big keynote speech at Computex 2025 trade show) alternatives tailored for desktop and laptop use. ASUS and Dell have already put the GB10 in their upcoming products while NVIDIA has also used it in its Project DIGITS AI supercomputer. The company announced this machine at CES 2025 saying it would cost around $2,999 and be ready to buy this month.

The benchmark listings show some inconsistencies, like identifying the chipset as Armv8 instead of Armv9. However, they point out that the GB10’s Cortex-X925 cores can reach speeds up to 3.9 GHz. The performance results show that the GB10 can compete with high-end Arm and x86 processors in single-core metrics. Yet, Apple’s M4 Max processors still leads in this area. The GB10 marks NVIDIA’s move into the workstation-grade Arm processor market and could shake up the established players in the high-performance computing field.
