(Image credit: AMD) This week at Computex 2026 , we saw Nvidia reveal its RTX Spark , and last month, AMD detailed its Ryzen AI Max 400 "Gorgon Halo" lineup , a refresh of the Strix Halo APUs that lifts supported unified memory to 192GB and allows up to 160GB of that pool to be addressed as VRAM. AMD describes the flagship Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 as the first x86 client processor able to run a 300-billion-parameter language model locally, pitching the platform for use cases that need to keep multiple AI agents resident in memory at once. The market for Gorgon Halo will likely be directly shared with other chips, such as Nvidia's RTX Spark , which debuted at Computex 2026 . RTX Spark is also positioned as an on-device agentic computing device. With local AI computing demanding lots of on-device RAM, it poses a difficult issue for device vendors.…
