They put it in little desktops for consumers, like the Framework desktop.
They put it in handhelds.
I tested the most powerful handheld ever made.
There's several of them now, but the one I tested was called the GPD Win 5 with Strix Halo.
It's like 1080p PlayStation 5 level gaming in the palms of your hands.
And NVIDIA, I'm guessing...
Maybe they were already planning it, but windows wasn't ready for it.
Maybe they saw what AMD was doing and said, you know, well, we could have that too.
We just got to take this chip and turn it around.
And so what they've announced today is the RTX spark.
The highest end RTX spark is literally that same spec.
It is 6,000 plus GPU cores.
It's made on a TSMC three process, uh,
MediaTek is NVIDIA's partner, so you can't just credit NVIDIA here.
This is a MediaTek chip with NVIDIA IP on it, manufactured by TSMC, and they're not saying where, so we have to assume not here in the United States, or they would make a big deal with that.
128 gigs of that memory, unified memory, so everything's super fast, and that memory can go to whichever part of the system that needs it at that speed.
consumer level chips right it might in terms of a monolithic thing if it's like one chip on a board but it doesn't have the most powerful graphics you can get in a laptop just the most powerful graphics you might be able to get on a single chip design okay so in a beefy gaming laptop you could have an rtx 5090 mobile processor in there
which would be super, you know, balls to the wall gaming graphics.
Whereas in this version, we're talking about more like RTX 5070 mobile, so a couple tiers down.
