Global PC app ecosystem ready for NVIDIA RTX Spark: 128GB unified memory, 1 petaflop of AI compute

What is RTX Spark?

NVIDIA introduced RTX Spark, which it describes as a new beginning for the PC. The superchip aims to combine a gaming PC, a creative studio and a personal AI supercomputer in a single piece of hardware.

Key technical figures

• Up to 128GB of unified memory
• 1 petaflop of AI compute
• The full NVIDIA RTX software stack

Unified memory means the CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, which makes it easier to run large AI models locally. A petaflop refers to quadrillions of operations per second.

Ecosystem ready

NVIDIA said the global PC app ecosystem is ready for RTX Spark. The announcement also covers software updates for laptops.
