The all-new RTX Spark processor is inarguably the star of NVIDIA's ongoing GTC Taipei event, with the GPU giant managing to bring together ARM, MediaTek, Microsoft, and a host of hardware OEMs in a consequential collaboration that is essentially a shot across the bow of Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. Even so, on a granular level, NVIDIA appears to have gone on a shopping spree for its RTX Spark, essentially ripping apart the Dimensity 9400 and Dimensity 8500 chips for CPU-related architectural inspiration. The CPU of NVIDIA's RTX Spark is essentially a mish-mash of MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 and Dimensity 8500 chips […]

NVIDIA’s announcement of the RTX Spark has caught the attention of the entire computing industry, including Qualcomm’s, which now needs to find a new way to deal with its latest rival. Then again, the company’s Senior Vice President of Computing, Kedar Kondap, doesn’t appear to be fazed by the unveiling because in a Q&A session with the executive, he expressed a warm welcome to the RTX Spark. The Snapdragon X2 Elite family has a clear advantage over the RTX Spark, but the SoC is severely lacking in one department, which Qualcomm needs to address Kondap was asked what he thinks about […]

The use of Remedy’s Northlight engine and NVIDIA’s Path Tracing technology makes Alan Wake 2 one of the most demanding titles ever released. Put any GPU in front of it, and without some of the heavy lifting taken over by upscaling and Frame Generation, the framerate will tank, but there’s a surprise, probably no one saw coming. The RTX Spark, which is the latest entrant to target the Windows on ARM platform, has been teased to be running the title with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction enabled. If that doesn’t get you thinking about what this chipset is capable of achieving, then we […]

The 20-core Grace CPU paired with NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU offers a solid combination to transform the RTX Spark into a capable chipset, but how well does this translate into benchmarks? Well, the first numbers are here, displaying that NVIDIA’s ARM-based SoC is a decent performer, beating Apple’s M5 by a considerable margin while losing to the M5 Pro. Even AMD’s 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is no match for the RTX Spark either, with only the power-hungry Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX and M5 Pro getting the better of their new rival In the Clang benchmark, which was shared by @lafaiel on X, […]

The introduction of NVIDIA’s first ARM-based SoC has materialized a new lineup, starting with the RTX Spark, with the company planning to have multiple releases year after year, starting with its Vera CPU. This new design will eventually be succeeded by Rosa. NVIDIA also mentions in its roadmap that each new release will be tailor-made for laptops and desktops, targeting a whole new segment. NVIDIA’s roadmap has successive releases until 2030, as it aims to take command of the Windows on ARM market by overtaking Qualcomm In 2027, the Vera CPU architecture will succeed Grace, but there’s no mention of […]

Several notebook manufacturers have teamed up with NVIDIA to bring forth various RTX Spark laptops to the market later this year. During the official announcement, the company stated that the chipset can be found in machines sporting Max-Q designs and a thinner form factor, with the increased memory count and the unified RAM bandwidth of 600GB/s able to seamlessly run AI models. However, perhaps the most impressive bit was that the RTX Spark has been demonstrated to run gaming titles like 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6. Thanks to NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and the help of DLSS and Frame Generation, […]
