NVIDIA RTX Spark delivers 4.6x coding agent performance

NVIDIA's RTX Spark is a laptop and compact desktop platform built for AI development. Its GB10 system-on-a-chip and large unified memory let developers run local coding agents, access AI frameworks, and code, test, and deploy on a single PC. The workflow that developers now split across a laptop, a cloud model API, and a cloud VM can, according to NVIDIA, be completed on one machine. Compared with Intel's Panther Lake 12Xe, NVIDIA says RTX Spark delivers 4.6x performance on coding agents, 2.7x on fine-tuning, and 1.8x on code compilation. One machine for the whole workflow AI agents are...

OpenClaw Brings Native App Installation to macOS, Simplifies Local AI Setup on Windows

OpenClaw has inspired hundreds of thousands of developers to run agents on their own hardware. But getting started hasn't always been straightforward—even technically experienced users spend more than 30 minutes wrestling with setup before achieving a working agent. In June, OpenClaw launched a Windows App installer to simplify onboarding for users avoiding the terminal. Today, the company is bringing that native app experience to macOS, and making Windows setup even simpler for machines with NVIDIA RTX GPUs. .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:hover, ...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword GPU Benchmarks — RTX 50 Series at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched on September 4, the first mainline entry in the series after a long silence, and it reached Steam's top new releases chart in its launch week. It also sets a hard floor on the PC side: Windows 11 as the minimum OS, an SSD install, and a 16GB memory baseline — machines still on Windows 10 will not run it at all. We benchmarked five GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards in-house — the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 — at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, with DLSS 4.5 off and on, across two settings profiles and 60 logged configurations.
