Nvidia RTX Spark comes to Windows PCs with Arm CPU, RTX GPU, and unified memory

Key points

• These days, Nvidia primarily sells AI data center products, and its traditional consumer devices feel like more of a side project.
• But the company occasionally still releases something designed for consumers.
• After a couple of years of rumors, Nvidia has announced an Arm-based chip designed to power Windows PCs.
• Dubbed RTX Spark, the new chip combines a 20-core Nvidia Grace CPU co-developed with MediaTek, up to 6,144 Blackwell-based GPU cores (the same architecture as the RTX 50-series GPUs), and support for up to 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory.
• Nvidia and its partners offered nothing about expected pricing, but both “slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and premium displays” and “compact desktop PCs” are slated to be “available this fall” from partners including Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI, Acer, and Gigabyte.
