Author of that article and plot here. SPARC is projected to have energy gain Q >=2 and potentially up to 11[1]. ITER is projected to achieve Q of >=10[2] so I would guess that SPARC's expected triple product would be in the same ballpark as the projected ITER datapoint, perhaps slightly lower, though potentially the same. We'll see!
