ASUS ProArt P16 and P14 Laptops Powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark Hit North American Market

ASUS announced that its ProArt P16 and P14 laptops, built around NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform, are now on sale in Canada. Orders placed through the ASUS Store, Amazon Canada, Best Buy Canada, Memory Express and Newegg Canada ship from today. Targeted at creators, AI developers and workflow builders, the devices combine a Blackwell RTX GPU, a Grace CPU and 128 GB of unified memory.

Spec Highlights

The core of the laptops is NVIDIA’s N1X SoC, fabricated on TSMC’s 3 nm process. It houses 20 CPU cores—10 performance Cortex‑X925 cores and 10 efficiency Cortex‑A725 cores—and a 6,144‑core GPU based on the Blackwell architecture. The system supports LPDDR5X up to 9,400 MT/s, giving 300 GB/s of bandwidth, and includes 128 GB of unified memory. Additional features are Wi‑Fi 7, four USB4 ports, HDMI 2.1a and DisplayPort 2.0.

Early benchmarks show the RTX Spark platform delivering strong AI and rendering throughput, though its multi‑core CPU performance trails traditional x86 laptops. The high memory bandwidth and large unified pool make it suitable for demanding local AI workloads and creative workflows.
