NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X outpaces Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and Panther Lake X9 388H in leaked Geekbench 7 multi-core

NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X appears in two configurations

The 20-core N1X reaches 23,126 points in multi-core, while an 18-core variant scores 21,776 points.

Two NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X systems have appeared in Geekbench 7 running Windows 11 on Arm. The faster system uses the full 20-core CPU configuration and a 6,144-core Blackwell GPU. It scores 2,570 points in single-core and 23,126 points in multi-core .

The second result shows an 18-core CPU paired with a 5,120-core GPU . This version scores 2,541 and 21,776 points respectively. Geekbench reports a 10+10 CPU cluster configuration for the full chip and 10+8 for the cut-down version. Both systems have 64GB of memory, while their listed base frequencies are 4.0 GHz and 3.9 GHz.

RTX Spark ahead of Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in Geekbench 7

The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is one of the closest existing Windows comparisons. It combines 16 Zen 5 cores with Radeon 8060S graphics featuring 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units and supports up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory. N1X is about 6% faster single-core and 12% faster multi-core than the current Geekbench average.

Apple M5 Max18 coresUp to 40 GPU cores 3,766 35,527

Intel’s flagship Panther Lake mobile processor takes a different approach but also combines a high-end CPU with large integrated graphics. The Core Ultra X9 388H has 16 CPU cores in a 4P+8E+4LPE configuration and an Arc B390 GPU. Its available Geekbench 7 result scores 2,767 single-core and 19,304 multi-core . N1X is therefore around 7% slower in single-core but 20% faster in multi-core , although Intel’s number currently comes from a single public result rather than an established average.

Apple M5 Max remains far ahead

Apple’s M5 Max provides another useful comparison because it combines an 18-core CPU, up to a 40-core GPU and as much as 128GB of unified memory in one package. Across 19 public Geekbench 7 M5 Max submissions we checked, the chip averages approximately 3,766 single-core and 35,527 multi-core . This leaves N1X around 32% behind in single-core and 35% behind in multi-core .
