Nvidia launches PC chip to bring AI directly to personal computers

2. No... this isn't a play to create a distributed replacement for datacenters.

RTX Spark: A desktop/laptop system-on-a-chip that pairs Blackwell graphics with an Arm CPU. It is highly efficient, drawing just single-digit wattage at idle and scaling up to 80W at full load.

80 watts is probably less than a current laptop CPU with attached laptop GPU.

much less than a deskside CPU... and a deskside CPU paired with a GeForce gamer GPU... try well over 1000 watts.

This isn't for LLM training, but AI inference... and for GPU graphics / CPU general math.

Running AI learning at the edge makes no sense... latency will kill you. So forget doing training operations with a million laptops burning electricity that you pay for.
