Alleged NVIDIA RTX Spark With 18-Cores Appears On Geekbench 7
Unofficially, the NVIDIA RTX Spark has already been making its rounds around the benchmark circuit, appearing on programs like Cinebench 2026 on a Surface Laptop Ultra, and even on a Lenovo Yoga 9-in-1. Now, there is a possibility that NVIDIA may have an 18-core variant of its ARM-based mainstream processor. As to why this is […] The post Alleged NVIDIA RTX Spark With 18-Cores Appears On…
The alleged NVIDIA RTX Spark, a processor with 18-cores, has surfaced on Geekbench 7 benchmarks, according to Geekbench and Videocardz reports. The RTX Spark was jointly developed by NVIDIA and MediaTek, combining 20 CPU cores, 6,144 GPU cores, 5th generation Tensor Cores, and 128GB of Unified Memory. At Computex 2026, NVIDIA stated that the SoC primarily features the 20-core configuration.
During testing, the 20-core RTX Spark scored 2,570 points on the single-core test and 23,316 points on the multi-core test. Meanwhile, the 18-core variant scored 2,541 points on single-core and 21,776 points on multi-core. While the 20-core processor is faster in both categories, the 18-core RTX Spark still shows significant performance improvements over its predecessors.
Notably, the 20-core RTX Spark underperforms when compared to Apple's M5 Max processor in both single-core and multi-core tests. It is essential to remember that Geekbench scores are indicative of a processor's capability rather than a definitive measure, and real-world performance will become clearer once an RTX Spark-powered laptop is available for testing.
