A developer was successful in booting an RTX 4060 desktop GPU on Windows 11 Arm system by modifying RTX Spark Arm64 drivers. Windows 11 Arm Reaches New Milestone As NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Boots With Arm64 Driver Up until now, Windows on Arm largely remained limited to Qualcomm-powered systems and mostly utilized integrated graphics. It was impossible to run NVIDIA GeForce GPUs due to one major roadblock, which is the lack of native Arm64 graphics drivers. However, this roadblock has been removed by a developer who successfully got an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 running on Windows 11 ARM. This project […]

Nvidia is teaming up with SEGA to bring Virtua Fighter Crossroads and other classic SEGA titles to newly the newly launched RTX Spark platform. While RTX Spark systems will use Windows, the chip is ARM-based, meaning extra compatibility work needs to be done to get certain games running.

The announcement was made during an event at GiGO Akihabara in Tokyo, where CEO Jensen Huang appeared alongside SEGA leadership and Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki. Nvidia confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will be the first SEGA title supported on RTX Spark, with more games planned to follow.

This is an interesting partnership, as Nvidia also partnered with Sega decades ago for the very first PC version of Virtua Fighter. While Virtua Fighter Crossroads will be the first Sega title to support the RTX Spark platform, there will be more games getting support in the future as well.

KitGuru Says: Do you think RTX Spark will be widely supported across the games industry?

Meta's pitch to users is Spark's ability to handle large agentic workloads, fix bugs, and help with large code migrations — the kind of automation that enterprises are increasingly turning to AI companies to provide.

Google's 24/7 agentic assistant, Gemini Spark, comes to Mac alongside other improvements, like real-time tracking and support for more apps.

OpenAI has just announced its first custom chip called Jalapeño, which is aimed at AI Inference workloads & produced by Broadcom. OpenAI Designed & Built Its First Custom AI Silicon, The Jalapeño Chip, For Agentic AI Today, OpenAI announced that it has built and designed its first AI chip, which they are calling Jalapeño. Interesting choice of name for a chip that came fresh off the baking ovens at Broadcom, who are responsible for producing this chip.

The ARM-based ecosystem has been graced by another entrant in the form of NVIDIA’s RTX Spark, and with its arrival in laptops this fall, Qualcomm and Apple should feel a little hint of worry, mainly in one category, because they have had years to address a problem existing in these notebook SoCs and have failed to do so. Well, the clock is ticking for these two companies. Gaming continues to be a weakness for both Apple Silicon and Snapdragon, with only a decent experience possible by spending top-tier funds on the M5 Max Before the arrival of RTX Spark, having […]

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 […]
