Adobe has rebuilt several of its creative applications to run on Nvidia's new RTX Spark platform. The company's vice president, Deepa Subramaniam, said Photoshop, Premiere and Substance 3D were "rearchitected" to take full advantage of the system-on-chip, which is designed to bring local AI processing to Windows laptops and small desktops.
RTX Spark is positioned as a more accessible alternative to Nvidia's DGX Spark, which targets companies and AI developers. Adobe's optimizations focus on speed: Subramaniam said the apps are two times faster for AI tasks and editing across workflows. In Photoshop, users should see more responsive rendering and real-time feedback when applying effects or using the Remove tool. Premiere is said to gain tangible speed gains in rendering, effects, AI-powered editing and color-grading, while Substance 3D Painter accelerates texturing, opening and saving large projects, and exporting textures.
The announcement is a single-source report from Engadget, so there are no independent benchmarks or differing views to compare. The performance claims come directly from Adobe and have not been verified by third-party testing.
