Nvidia calls the part RTX Spark N1X and denied the existence of a rumored lower-tier N1. Memory comes in five LPDDR5X-9400 capacities from 24GB to 128GB.","whyItMatters":"Nvidia is positioning local AI, not gaming, as the reason to buy this class of PC: it recommends 48GB or more for running models on the machine and says smaller configurations will lean on cloud processing.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe briefing followed the hardware announcements by a day and settled a naming question. The SoC is RTX Spark N1X, matching the rumor that preceded the June 2026 announcement, and Nvidia denied that a lower-tier N1 exists.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe N1X shares its semiconductor die with GB10, the part in the DGX Spark machine for AI developers, so the same silicon ships under two names depending on the PC.
