ASUS brings RTX Spark to ProArt Laptops and Reveals a Compact AI Desktop at IFA

The new RTX Spark combines an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 6,144 RTX cores, a Grace CPU with up to 20 cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores. Asus says that it can deliver up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and support up to 128GB of unified memory. That memory capacity is particularly important for running larger AI models locally. Asus claims the platform can handle models with up to 120 billion parameters, along with demanding 3D rendering and 4K AI video-generation workloads.

The ProArt P16 is the larger of the two laptops announced, with a 16-inch display. It measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.77kg. As announced by Asus, it sports a 99Wh battery and can be configured with a 4K 120Hz Lumina Pro OLED display with NVIDIA G-SYNC. The smaller ProArt P14 features a 14-inch screen and weighs only 1.48kg. In contrast to the P16, it measures 13.9mm thick and includes a 90Wh battery. Both laptops are aimed squarely at creators and developers who want to run AI tools without sending everything to the cloud. Asus is also integrating local AI software such as MuseTree, which supports image-generation models including FLUX and WAN, alongside StoryCube for AI-powered media organization.

The ProArt GR1X mini PC takes the same concept into a much smaller desktop. Measuring 150 x 150 x 51mm, the mini PC is designed for sustained AI workloads and includes 10GbE networking, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and support for up to four 4K displays.

The announcement builds on NVIDIA’s earlier RTX Spark reveal, which positioned the platform as a new class of Windows PC capable of bringing serious AI performance to relatively portable hardware.

Finally, Asus is bringing its Zenni Claw AI assistant into the wider ecosystem. The software, which launched as a free beta earlier this year, is designed to perform multi-step tasks while switching between local and cloud AI processing.

Asus has not yet announced Canadian pricing or availability for the new ProArt RTX Spark machines.
