ASUS ProArt P14 and P16 to Feature NVIDIA RTX Spark Architecture
Following announcements from Microsoft and MSI, ASUS has joined the rollout of the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform. The new devices, part of the ProArt family, consist of the ProArt P14 and ProArt P16 models, designed to leverage the synergy between "Grace" CPUs and "Blackwell" GPUs.
Unified Memory for AI Acceleration
The core innovation of the RTX Spark platform is its Unified Memory architecture. By utilizing shared "LPDDR5X" RAM between the CPU and GPU, the system departs from the traditional split-memory approach found in standard creator laptops. This design is specifically optimized to accelerate AI workloads by streamlining data movement between processing units.
ASUS offers two chip configurations. The larger ProArt P16 can be equipped with either a high-end chip featuring 20 CPU cores and 6,144 Blackwell shaders, or a version supporting up to 64 GB of unified memory. The more compact ProArt P14 is initially limited to a chip with 18 CPU cores and 5,120 shaders. While the P16 offers a 64 GB memory tier, the P14 is currently listed with a maximum of 32 GB LPDDR5X, though a 128 GB variant has been spotted on the manufacturer's website.
Display and Connectivity Specifications
Both notebooks feature 120 Hz OLED touchscreens covering the full DCI-P3 color gamut, with peak brightness reaching 1,600 nits. The ProArt P14 provides a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, while the ProArt P16 steps up to 3,840 x 2,400 pixels.
Connectivity includes three USB4 ports, HDMI 2.1, and WiFi 7 support. The P16 model further includes an SD Express card reader. Power is supplied by 90 Wh (P14) and 99.9 Wh (P16) batteries, though specific runtime estimates have not been provided by ASUS.
Pricing and Availability
Pre-orders are opening in Germany with prices starting at €2,999. This entry price applies to the ProArt P16 configuration with 24 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD. The ProArt P14 starts at €3,299, featuring 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Shipments are scheduled to begin on October 16, 2026.
