Mobile consoles are popular among PC enthusiasts who want to access games anywhere. The Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI CLaw and Acer Predator Go are among the consoles that have been launched with AMD and Intel chips. At Computex, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was asked if the company is interested in producing a mobile console using RTX Spark.
Huang replied that NVIDIA is currently “busy” reinventing the PC market with chips that combine the Grace CPU and Blackwell GPU. He added that if other manufacturers want to do it, NVIDIA will work with them.
He was previously quoted as saying that a PC using RTX Spark will bring a big change in the PC world like the change from mobile phones to smartphones almost 20 years ago.
NVIDIA previously offered a mobile console with the NVIDIA Shield Portable in 2013 powered by the NVIDIA Tegra chip. They no longer offer their own consoles but supply the NVIDIA Tegra T239 chip for the Nintendo Switch 2. The Tegra T239 is equipped with eight Arm Cortex A78C cores and is combined with an NVIDIA Ampere GPU (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000) which has 1536 CUDA cores.
So far only ASUS has confirmed that two ProArt laptops equipped with RTX Spark will enter the Malaysian market. With high processing power, these laptops will definitely be sold at a very premium price.
