MSI launches EdgeMesa N AI+ RTX Spark PC with 6,144-core Blackwell GPU
MSI has introduced the EdgeMesa N AI+, a compact Windows PC based on NVIDIA’s RTX Spark N1X platform. The system combines a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Blackwell RTX GPU featuring 6,144 CUDA cores.
RTX Spark comes to MSI
The EdgeMesa N AI+ supports up to 128GB of LPDDR5X unified memory shared between the CPU and GPU. There are no detailed specs and I’m not sure if MSI is even planning a version with less RAM. Otherwise are looking at rather expensive mini-PC.
NVIDIA lists this RTX Spark N1X desktop configuration with a 140W TDP. It is the larger N1X option, using the 20-core Grace CPU and 6,144-core Blackwell GPU rather than the 18-core CPU and 5,120-core GPU configuration also offered under the RTX Spark family.
Up to 128GB unified memory
MSI will offer the EdgeMesa with up to a 4TB NVMe SSD. Connectivity includes four USB 20Gbps Type-C ports, three with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode, HDMI 2.1b and 10GbE. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 are also supported. Cooling is handled by a fan and vapor chamber.
Unlike NVIDIA’s DGX Spark systems, RTX Spark is being presented as a Windows 11 platform with regular NVIDIA graphics features and drivers. NVIDIA lists DLSS 5, Reflex 2, RTX Remix, G-SYNC, Game Ready and Studio drivers among the technologies supported by RTX Spark N1X.
MSI has not yet disclosed pricing or an exact release date for the EdgeMesa N AI+. The product page is already online, suggesting the company is preparing the system as one of several RTX Spark N1X desktops expected from PC manufacturers.
