About this tag
RTX Spark is Nvidia's Windows-on-Arm PC platform combining a Grace Arm CPU, Blackwell-class RTX GPU, and unified memory for local AI, gaming, and creative work. Threads on WindowsForum.com cover driver 616.00 adding Arm64 support, Sega's Virtua Fighter Crossroads coming to the platform, HP OmniBook Ultra 16 and X 14 previews, and how Qualcomm and Microsoft paved the way for Nvidia's entry.

The platform targets premium laptops and compact desktops with up to 128GB unified memory and 1 petaflop FP4 AI performance, with systems expected from major OEMs in late 2026.
