Nvidia RTX Spark Systems Approach the Starting Line
Launched on June 1 at Computex 2026 with a handful of big-name laptop partners, we still don’t have any notable details beyond the basics for Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X designed-for-AI chips. Only that there are two versions: a 20 CPU core/6,144 GPU core for laptops and desktops — which supports up to 128GB unified memory — and one with 18 CPU cores/5,120 GPU cores — which supports only up to 32GB memory — that’s designated for laptops. But we do have more precise availability information than “fall”: It’s expected next month, in October.
It strikes me as a bit odd that the 18C/5,144C version maxes out at only 32GB RAM, especially since it’s shared between the CPU and GPU. It seems like an awfully powerful chip that could potentially become bottlenecked by memory. On the other hand, that could be a power or space constraint, since it’s intended for light,...
