1X NEO Cortex
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.

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.
