ASUS has officially unveiled its next-gen creator devices at IFA 2026. As expected, the highlight was the ProArt P16, ProArt P14, and ProArt GR1X Mini PC powered by the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform.
Designed for generative AI and AI-based workflows, RTX Spark comes with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU (6,144 cores) over high-speed NVLink-C2C, delivering up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and up to 128GB of unified memory.
NVIDIA RTX Spark: 1 Petaflop of AI Compute and 128GB Unified Memory
The NVIDIA RTX Spark platform represents a big shift for mobile and compact desktop creator workstations.
By eliminating traditional PCIe bus bottlenecks between CPU and GPU, the platform provides fast bidirectional memory sharing, so running large language models (LLMs) with up to 70 billion parameters locally.
Ultra-Slim 12.9mm and 13.9mm Form Factors
Despite packing a powerful RTX Spark, both laptops feature remarkably thin and light profiles crafted from premium aluminum in Nano Black and Neo White finishes.
The ProArt P16 measures just 12.9mm thin and weighs 1.77kg, equipped with a massive 99Wh battery.
The ProArt P14 measures 13.9mm thin and weighs 1.48kg, backed by a 90 Wh battery.
The ProArt P16 boasts up to a 4K 120Hz Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) display with NVIDIA G-SYNC support.
Meanwhile, the ProArt P14 features a 3K OLED screen equipped with anti-reflection coating technology.
ProArt GR1X: Palm-Sized 24/7 Agentic AI Mini PC
Expanding RTX Spark power to compact desktop setups, the ProArt GR1X Mini PC are for creators requiring an always-on, dedicated agentic AI workstation.
Measuring at just a compact 150 x 150 x 51 mm, the mini PC features a custom dual-fan thermal module with 218 fan blades and seven-level fan control for 24/7 operation.
It is equipped with 10GbE wired networking, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and video outputs capable of driving up to four 4K external displays simultaneously in Black or Silver aluminum enclosures.
Local GenAI Software Ecosystem and Agentic Workflows
ASUS bridges hardware and creation through preloaded local AI tools, including MuseTree for token-free on-device image generation using FLUX and WAN models, and StoryCube for smart media organization.
