Update : Nvidia RTX Spark's 18-core config surfaces on Geekbench
Update, August 9: Both Geekbench listings referenced in this article have since been removed from the Geekbench Browser database. The scores and configuration details above remain as originally recorded before removal.
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 single-core and 23,126 multi-core on Windows 11 Pro. The 18-core variant (10+8 clusters) at 3.90 GHz with a 5,120-core GPU scored 2,541 single-core and 21,776 multi-core on Windows 11 Enterprise, just about 1% behind on single-core despite a lower clock. The multi-core gap is wider at around 6%, roughly in line with the 10% cut to CPU core count. 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.
