Tom's Hardware: Nvidia's RTX Spark Beats M5 Max MacBook Pro by ~25% on Qwen Agent Benchmarks

Summary

Tom's Hardware's independent AgentPerf-local tests show the RTX Spark Superchip in Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra finishing the dense Qwen 3.8-27B run roughly 25% faster than Apple's M5 Max 14-inch MacBook Pro, and clearing Qwen 3.6 35B A3B in ~8 minutes versus the Mac's 10. The Windows-on-Arm platform impresses on local agentic AI even as the review flags weaker gaming performance against Apple silicon.
