Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X processor is finally here, and we’ve been collectively testing a small fortune’s worth of powerful laptops sporting this new “superchip.” RTX Spark is designed to be a high-performing Arm-based SoC for laptops and small desktop computers, rivaling the best from Apple, Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm.

英伟达的 RTX Spark N1X 处理器终于面世了，我们一直在共同测试一批价值不菲、搭载这款全新“超级芯片”的强大笔记本电脑。RTX Spark 旨在成为一款面向笔记本电脑和小型台式机的高性能 Arm 架构 SoC，足以与苹果、英特尔、AMD 和高通的顶级产品相媲美。

All of these laptops have the same N1X chip with 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU CUDA cores, and they’re all wildly expensive — ranging from the HP OmniBook at $3,199.99 to the Asus ProArt’s $6,999.99.

所有这些笔记本电脑都搭载了相同的 N1X 芯片，拥有 20 个 CPU 核心和 6,144 个 GPU CUDA 核心，而且价格极其昂贵——从 3,199.99 美元的惠普 OmniBook 到 6,999.99 美元的华硕 ProArt 不等。

Antonio Di Benedetto: Windows on Arm is no longer a wholly subpar experience like it was a few years ago. Thanks in large part to the push around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X chips, lots of development has been put into native Arm-based apps for Windows. And many x86 apps work fine via Microsoft’s Prism emulation layer.

Antonio Di Benedetto：Windows on Arm 已不再像几年前那样体验糟糕。很大程度上得益于高通骁龙 X 芯片的推动，大量开发工作已投入到 Windows 原生 Arm 应用中。此外，许多 x86 应用通过微软的 Prism 模拟层也能运行良好。

Sean Hollister: Every so often, there’s that moment when an app takes longer to load than it should, and I wonder whether it’ll load at all. Even then, it typically loads. Occasionally, it takes more than one try. My Evernote notes disappeared a few times one day when I alt-tabbed away, but a force refresh fixed that.

Sean Hollister：偶尔会出现应用加载时间过长的情况，让我怀疑它是否还能加载出来。即便如此，它通常还是能加载的。有时需要尝试多次。有一天，当我切换窗口时，我的 Evernote 笔记消失了几次，但强制刷新解决了这个问题。

Tom Warren: Windows on Arm never looked like a serious gaming platform before now. While there still aren’t many native Arm games, Nvidia’s GPU helps bruteforce through the emulation layer. Your mileage in gaming is going to vary depending on the title, but for the most part I’ve found that medium settings, running at 1440p and DLSS performance, will get you to a stable 60fps in most games.

Tom Warren：在此之前，Windows on Arm 从未被视为一个严肃的游戏平台。虽然原生 Arm 游戏仍然不多，但英伟达的 GPU 有助于通过模拟层进行强力驱动。游戏体验会因游戏而异，但在大多数情况下，我发现中等画质、1440p 分辨率并开启 DLSS 性能模式，可以在大多数游戏中获得稳定的 60fps。
