Last week, AMD fired a warning shot at Nvidia’s RTX Spark. Today, Team Green’s payload has arrived. Ahead of the highly anticipated October 16 launch, Nvidia just unleashed a tidal wave of software for its audacious Arm-based chip, the massive Blackwell RTX GPU.
They aren’t just selling a new chip; they’re trying to prove that their garden of software features makes the jump to Arm completely worth it.
And on top of that, I currently have the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra with RTX Spark sitting on my desk (actually typing this story on it right now). Now, before I lock myself in my lab for the review, I want to know exactly what you want to see this thing do.
Here is the cheat sheet of the craziest software witchcraft Nvidia just announced. Read it over, drop your most chaotic testing requests in the Q&A box just below, and I will push this hardware to the absolute limit.
Reminder: We’re a friendly bunch, and this community is a safe space for anyone who wants to learn about RTX Spark. Please treat everyone (including me) with respect and avoid any nasty language.
Running a Large Language Model (LLM) on your PC used to require opening terrifying command-line terminals and pretending you knew how to code (I’m guilty of that one with my D in Computer Science). That friction is well on its way to being killed, and Nvidia is taking another big step forward.
Also, Nvidia Broadcast is getting a big upgrade with RTX video super resolution and frame generation—both for webcam and offline file processing.
