Shadowing Practice: Nvidia's New Laptops - RTX Spark - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
So NVIDIA just launched a new laptop chip.
2
It's called the RTX Spark.
3
It's a 20 -core ARM -based CPU, and it packs an RTX 5070 GPU that has the same core count as the desktop version.
4
It goes up to 128 gigs of unified RAM, and it's being used in very thin laptops.
5
As thin as 14 millimeters, and it still has all -day battery life, and it runs the full NVIDIA stack.
6
So CUDA, DLSS, ray tracing, all of it.
7
Now, I've never had any doubt that if NVIDIA wanted to make a laptop they would make a good one, one that's energy efficient, powerful.
8
There was never any worry.
9
But what I am worried about is what they want you to use this chip for.
10
Because if you watch their presentation, the first third of it, or maybe even more, they're talking about agents.
11
So we got to talk about this because this is the main pitch.
12
If you know what an LLM is, like a large language model.
13
So let's start there.
14
Large language models.
15
So ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, things like that.
16
They are...
17
like tools that you can type to and they'll type back
18
or respond back right agents are the next step of
19
that instead of just responding back to you they can actually do things for you
20
so as an example you would ask it to like draw an owl
21
and then make it fly while changing the camera angle
22
and the agent will go and perform the steps required across your actual apps checking its
23
intern that lives inside your computer that can do stuff for you.
24
Now, keep in mind there are pre -existing tools today that can accomplish stuff like this, but they definitely require like a little bit of knowledge
25
and they're tools that you have to kind of piece together that a typical person wouldn't want to do.
26
Now, NVIDIA's bet, along with Microsoft, is that this will be the new era of PC and they're calling it exactly that.
27
The idea is that these agents would run locally on your device because to have a genuinely capable agent,
28
you would need a fairly large model that's sitting inside fairly fast RAM.
29
And like a regular laptop can't do that.
30
Not even a gaming laptop, because there's not enough of that super fast RAM in gaming laptops.
31
So a MacBook Pro could technically do because you can get up to 128 gigs of unified RAM there.
32
Same with an AMD Strix Halo laptop that has a lot of unified RAM memory, but neither of those two devices have access to the CUDA software stack.
33
every AI tool and framework and model is built on and optimized for first.
34
So the Arctic Spark with its 128 gigs of unified memory has access to this
35
CUDA stack it's great it's like purpose built for this vision however this is where things get a little shaky
36
because if you think about it this is not nvidia's mountain to climb it's actually microsoft
37
because they're the company that has to build
38
and implement the part of windows
39
that the agents would live in like this is baked into
40
the operating system would run from your taskbar it needs access
41
to your files your apps it has to have a lot of access to your system and if you
42
from the system because they find it too obtrusive.
43
Can you imagine like co -pilot extreme?
44
This thing would need more control, more access, and just more, it's more capable, right?
45
So it has to have the ability to do all of these things.
46
And I don't know if we're in the position where we actually entrust a company like Microsoft
47
to have that kind of control, but it would need it to pull this off.
48
Now, if they nail it, it would be incredible, genuinely incredible, because now your computer could do the multi -step tasks that we find boring and time consuming.
49
But at the same time, I also can't imagine Microsoft making a tool that's powerful like that, but wouldn't be obtrusive somehow, but we'll see.
50
The second thing that the Artex Spark chip is supposed to be good at is with creative work.
51
So it is a 5070 with a lot of RAM, and Adobe apparently has new architecture for Premiere and Photoshop, engineered specifically around this chip, which is kind of cool, but we'll have to see what that's all about.
52
Now the third thing is gaming, and to be clear, it is the third thing, because if you look at the list of laptops, these are not gaming laptops.
53
You got like Lenovo laptops that can also game,
54
but NVIDIA is throwing some pretty interesting numbers out there.
55
We will have to test all this stuff down the line.
56
It might even be great for gaming.
57
Now, in terms of where I stand on the whole RTX part, I think the hardware is very interesting.
58
I think that pricing, if you actually are interested in this thing, the pricing is not revealed yet,
59
but I imagine we should brace for it to be quite expensive because just the market is that way right now.
60
The other thing, Like forget about the technical element of it.
61
That's already extremely difficult. But even
62
if they could pull it off the kind of social acceptance of having a tool like this baked into your operating system, that's a huge ask.
63
I think in this day and age, if that thing was available today, I don't know if I would want that on my system.
64
Like it's neat.
65
But when I've kind of piece together myself and I know exactly where everything is, like that feels a little bit more comfortable.
66
But if this is built into the operating system and it can do stuff, it's a little bit more comfortable
67
when you're not even there i don't know it's it is strange um
68
if there was one company though if there was one company
69
that has the kind of clout and reputation
70
and just size to pull it off as a partner it
71
would be nvidia they're super rich they have a ton of
72
connections with multiple industries ai gaming like productivity workflows like
73
so much stuff stems around nvidia
74
so maybe they could pull it off who knows what do you think is this something
75
that you would if you think about given, is it something that you would actually use and /or want on your system?
76
Okay, hope you guys enjoyed this video.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
