Nvidia has announced its first entry into the Microsoft Windows PC processor market that they have named the RTX Spark. The RTX Spark is an ARM architecture based APU that utilizes up to 20 ARM CPU cores, and 6,144 Nvidia Blackwell GPU cores. It features a unified memory architecture featuring up to 128GB of RAM. Initially being aimed at the AI creator market, Nvidia states that they have partnered with Adobe to re-architect Adobe Premier and Photoshop to take advantage of RTX Spark’s AI performance enhancements. This includes a new video pipeline in Adobe Premier that promises real-time color correction, new live filter...

That stuff is out there. But it is buried, because niche highly specialized use cases--which are the bread and butter of LLM and machine learning, are NOT sexy things that get Wall Street speculators to gamble massive amounts of money. Ars actually two articles about it today:
