Nvidia unveil their first all-in-one laptop processor, with support for DLSS, ray tracing, frame gen, and all those other RTX features you love and hate
After years of whispers around Nvidia maybe, possibly, perhaps getting into CPU-making, they’re making it official with RTX Spark: a fully integrated laptop SoC (System on a Chip), coming to thin 'n' lights in Autumn this year. Unsurprisingly, given the source of Nvidia’s trillions , RTX Spark has a big focus on agentic AI work, the official descriptions of which are so inducive of malaise that I can’t even bring myself to copy them in from the press release. But there is plenty of note for those who’d use their lightweight laptop to play games, as the SoC’s graphics processor is based on the same Blackwell architecture as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50 series of standalone graphics cards . That means it’ll support DLSS 4.5 upscaling, Multi-Frame Generation, ray tracing, Reflex, and G-Sync, all hitherto unseen (or at least extremely rare ) on what is essentially integrated graphics. Unless you count the Nintendo Switch 2. And round 'ere, we don’t. Read more

A surfeit of revamped CPUs and GPUs are now official. AMD took to Computex with a host of CPU and GPU announcements, including two new/old Ryzen X3D processors and the global release of the formerly China-exclusive RX 9070 GRE graphics card. Perhaps more importantly, it also underscored its commitment to the AM5 platform until 2029, some seven years after it debuted. Let's cover off the GPU news first before we dig into the meatier CPU announcements. The RX 9070 GRE is a cut-down version of the vanilla RX 9070 with 12GB of VRAM instead of 16GB and 85 percent of the GPU cores, making it roughly 15 percent slower on average.
