"Market response has far exceeded our expectations" — ASUS can't make enough laptops with RTX Spark ahead of their expected Q4 launch

By Source Windows Central Published

ASUS has sold out of its initial pre-order supply for the new ProArt P14 and P16 laptops, which feature NVIDIA’s high-performance RTX Spark ARM-based system-on-chip technology.

Key Points

  • NVIDIA’s RTX Spark is an ARM-powered SoC integrating Blackwell RTX GPU architecture and up to 128GB of unified memory.
  • ASUS reported a complete sell-out of its ProArt P14 and P16 inventory during its Q2 earnings call.
  • The RTX Spark chip is designed to compete with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm processors in the Windows 11 PC market.
  • ASUS plans to replenish supplies ahead of the official retail launch scheduled for Q4 2026.
  • The laptops feature 4K OLED displays and are marketed for their high AI computing power and extended battery life.

Why it Matters

The strong demand for these devices signals a significant shift in the Windows laptop market toward ARM-based architectures that offer high-end performance without bulky discrete GPUs. This success suggests that NVIDIA’s entry into the SoC space could disrupt the traditional dominance of x86 chipmakers in the premium computing sector.
