The 1X NEO Cortex is the onboard compute module that acts as the AI "brain" of the 1X NEO humanoid. It is physically based on the NVIDIA Jetson Thor SoC — the official NEO spec sheet lists it as "1X NEO Cortex (Nvidia Jetson Thor)".
The module delivers up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI compute, used for on-device inference of the models that drive the robot's behaviour. The NEO software layer (Redwood AI) is a separate entity and is not part of this hardware component.
The underlying Jetson Thor platform combines a 14-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE CPU, an NVIDIA Blackwell-architecture GPU and LPDDR5X memory. The exact memory capacity used in NEO has not been disclosed by 1X Technologies.
AI System-on-Chip (SoC) · serves as: High-level compute, AI Inference, Embedded main processor.
Which group 1X NEO Cortex belongs to and how it is built
Compute Modules is a subcategory of hardware components that provide processing power for robotic systems. It encompasses onboard computers, single-board computers (SBCs), AI accelerators, embedded processors, GPU/NPU compute modules, and other units responsible for processing sensor data and executing control logic. These modules form the foundation of modern autonomous, humanoid, and perception-capable robots.
Component type encompassing System-on-Chip designs used as primary compute units in embedded devices, edge AI, and robotics applications.
