Nvidia is changing how AI can be achieved, bringing the full stack of its AI and graphics technology to Windows PCs through its RTX Spark platform. And this is just the “Spark” that a software company like Adobe has been waiting, enabling it to boost its creative apps including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D.
Nvidia has changed up the recipe for client computing with the recent introduction of its RTX Spark platform, a fusion of its AI software tools and RTX graphics. This Windows-focused Arm platform delivers the full Nvidia AI and graphics technology stack to creators, AI developers and gamers. It has all the high-end ingredients found in data center architectures and combines them into a single superchip for Windows PCs, paving the way for software companies to build native applications for it. Many have taken notice, Adobe among them.
No sooner did Nvidia make this major step into the core client computing market before windows into this new tech began to open, with Adobe revealing its plans to re-architect its creative applications to run on this new architecture. It is optimizing its key creative apps, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D, to use the new superchip. Once completed, Adobe expects to achieve 2× faster AI, editing, coloring, and effects performance across workflows in Premiere and Photoshop.
Adobe says it expects to begin offering the updates to Premiere, Photoshop, and Substance 3D later this year.
RTX Spark is powering the first Windows PCs purpose-built for personal agents. It features a 1 PFLOPS superchip, the full CUDA and RTX ecosystem, and up to 128 GB of unified memory, for the processing demands of on-device agents. Specifically, it sports a Blackwell RTX GPU, 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance, 20-core Grace CPU.
This past March, Adobe and Nvidia announced a strategic partnership whereby it would use Nvidia’s AI technologies, open models, and accelerated computing to deliver the next generation of foundational Firefly models and creative, marketing, and agentic workflows.
