Nvidia announces RTX Spark as 'the most efficient PC chip ever built'

Nvidia announced the RTX Spark, its first complete consumer PC chip that integrates both CPU and GPU cores for laptops and mini-PCs. The company claims the RTX Spark is the most efficient PC chip ever built, though no performance or power data was provided to support that statement. Nvidia senior director of product management Mark Aevermann made the efficiency claim without sharing any statistics or charts. The chip is expected to ship this fall and will compete directly with chips from Intel, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm. Nvidia positions the RTX Spark as meeting or beating the most powerful thin-and-light Windows machines currently available. The announcement follows months of leaks about Nvidia's entry into the consumer PC chip market.
