Laptop tests on new Nvidia RTX Spark chip published
Results vary significantly depending on tasks
The RTX Spark graphics chip is available in two modifications, differing in the number of processor and graphics cores. At the same time, their memory bandwidth indicators are identical, and specialized laboratories conducted tests on incomparable laptop configurations.
In work tasks with the Qwen 3.8 27B model, the new chip significantly outperformed the M5 Max, while the Ryzen AI Halo chipset showed more than a twofold lag. Depending on the type of workload, performance in AI benchmarks was on par with mobile graphics cards RTX 5060 and RTX 4070.
Regarding gaming performance, the Arm architecture does not yet allow all titles to run natively. The final results of RTX Spark vary depending on the project: the chip can either slightly lag behind Ryzen AI Max with Radeon 8060S or 8065S accelerators or surpass them. On average, the integrated graphics core performs at the level of a laptop RTX 4060, although gaming is not positioned as the key use scenario for such devices.
