Samsung may not launch a Galaxy Book with Nvidia RTX Spark anytime soon

On Monday, Nvidia unveiled the RTX Spark, a chipset for PCs featuring ARM CPU cores, Blackwell RTX GPU, and unified memory. It looks spectacular on paper, which we will discuss later, and people are expecting it to be very powerful as well as extremely power efficient. Unfortunately, Samsung will most likely not use it for its Galaxy Book models.

During the announcement, Nvidia revealed the brands that will be launching laptops powered by the RTX Spark, as well as gave us a sneak peek at the upcoming models. Unfortunately, Samsung was neither mentioned nor was its laptop showcased. It strongly suggests that the South Korean tech giant may not launch a Galaxy Book with this SoC.

The companies that will be launching laptops featuring the Nvidia RTX Spark include Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI. It is possible that these are just the first wave of firms that will launch laptops with the SoC, and not the only brands that will be doing so. In other words, Samsung may launch a Galaxy Book with it at a later stage.

As for the RTX Spark’s specifications, you get a 20-core Grace CPU cluster, which is co-developed with MediaTek, Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores offering up to 1 PFLOP FP4 AI performance and supporting ray-tracing, DLSS, and G-Sync, and up to 128GB unified memory. Nvidia is getting the SoC made on TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process.
