Geekbench 7 listings reveal a lower-end Nvidia RTX Spark configuration with an 18-core CPU and 5,120-core GPU, alongside a faster 20-core, 6,144-core model. Both appear to be engineering samples, with pricing, availability, and final retail specifications still unconfirmed.

Two new Geekbench 7 listings uploaded on August 7 provide the first live benchmark confirmation of a second, lower-end RTX Spark configuration, following driver strings that hinted at its existence back in July.

The full config, a 20-core CPU (10+10 clusters) at 4.00 GHz with a 6,144-core GPU, scored 2,570 in single-core and 23,126 in multi-core testing on Windows 11 Pro. The second listing shows an 18-core CPU (10+8 clusters) at 3.90 GHz paired with a 5,120-core GPU, scoring 2,541 in single-core and 21,776 in multi-core testing on Windows 11 Enterprise. Both list 64 GB of RAM and the same ARMv8 Family 8 Model D87 Revision 1 silicon.

Driver strings spotted in July had already pointed to a 5,120-core GPU variant, but the CPU configuration was unknown until now. These results show that it, too, has been trimmed, losing two cores compared with the full 20-core config.

Pricing and availability for either configuration remain unannounced. These are engineering-sample results, so final retail hardware could differ.
