The first tests of the Nvidia GB10 Superchip, aimed at AI Workstations of AI, were published in Geekbench 6. The results show that the CPU is behind the Apple M3 and Snapdragon x Elite, Qualcomm, both high performance models.
This means that while the processor promises advanced performance for artificial intelligence, its computing capacities seem limited.

Superchip Characteristics
NVidia GB10 System-in-in-Package (SIP) has a Grace processor, Equipped with 10 high performance cores (ARM Cortex-X925, running up to 3.90 GHz) and 10 energy efficiency cores (Cortex-A725). In addition, it comes with a Blackwell GPU, which delivers 1 FP4 performance petaflops to AI tasks.
Another important point is your 256 -bit memory interface, which enables 128 GB of Unified Memory LPDDR5X with bandwidth of up to 273 GB/sequal to Apple M4 Pro.

In single-thread tests, The Cortex-X925, running at 3.90 GHz, the GB10 reached 2,960 points in Geekbench 6. With the result, he was close to the Snapdragon x Elite and the Apple M3. However, rivals like Apple M4, AMD Ryzen 9950X and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K perform considerably higher performance.
In multi-gread performance, the GB10 got 10,682 points, behind Apple M3 and 39% below Apple M4. It was also surpassed by Snapdragon x Elite (15,654 points). Models like Apple M4 Max and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X exceed 20,000 points, reinforcing GB10 limitations.
Superchip future
The modest result may indicate that the Cortex-A725 nuclei are not contributing sufficiently or there are scheduling problems that can be corrected via Windows 11 or Microcode Update by Nvidia.
Another hypothesis is that the GB10 is designed for energy efficiency and low thermal consumption, essential for AI compact workstations.
In addition to the GB10, Rumors indicate that Nvidia will announce N1 and N1X processors for desktops and laptops on computex this month. Both should have a setting similar to the GB10, which suggests nearby performance.
