Nvidia Announces RTX Spark, but It Isn't a New Chip

Nvidia has announced RTX Spark, a product name that sits close to the DGX Spark the company already sells. On the latest episode of the Accidental Tech Podcast, the hosts argued that RTX Spark is not a new chip. They described it as the same as the earlier hardware in some respects and different in others, a distinction that matters for anyone trying to work out what they are actually being offered.

The episode's show notes do not include specifications, pricing, or a release date. The detailed discussion is in the members-only ATP Overtime feed, and nothing in the public notes comes from Nvidia's own materials. Until the company publishes full details, the main point from the show is that the naming overlaps more than the hardware does.
