One area of criticism surrounding NVIDIA’s RTX Spark is that its CPU configuration comprises of cores found in MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400, a chipset that’s going to be two generations old in October this year. Naturally, even the 20-core CPU can’t hold its own against modern-day SoCs, but did you know that NVIDIA did some slight tweaking with the Cortex-X925 to make it slightly more capable? A closer look at the RTX Spark shows that the cores take two features from both the Dimensity 9400 and Dimensity 9500 because the silicon needs to take care of demanding PC-related workloads. New dieshot analysis highlights […]

The all-new RTX Spark processor is inarguably the star of NVIDIA's ongoing GTC Taipei event, with the GPU giant managing to bring together ARM, MediaTek, Microsoft, and a host of hardware OEMs in a consequential collaboration that is essentially a shot across the bow of Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm. Even so, on a granular level, NVIDIA appears to have gone on a shopping spree for its RTX Spark, essentially ripping apart the Dimensity 9400 and Dimensity 8500 chips for CPU-related architectural inspiration. The CPU of NVIDIA's RTX Spark is essentially a mish-mash of MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 and Dimensity 8500 chips […]
