Nvidia announces RTX Spark, an Arm-based “superchip” designed to bring high-end AI and graphics capabilities to Windows laptops and small desktop PCs. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveils the chip at Computex 2026, and multiple outlets report that the first systems will arrive in the fall on new PC lines from major manufacturers including Dell, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI, along with Microsoft. The company positions RTX Spark as a platform for running AI agents locally and as a general-purpose performance chip for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and AAA gaming.
Nvidia claims the chip delivers about 1 petaflop of AI performance and includes Nvidia’s Blackwell RTX graphics cores, plus an NPU intended to support Windows and Microsoft Copilot+ requirements. Reports also say RTX Spark combines a Blackwell RTX GPU with a Grace CPU and features unified memory that can be configured from 16GB up to 128GB, with a power envelope ranging from single-digit watts up to around 80W. Microsoft states it has optimized Windows 11 workload scheduling for RTX Spark, aiming to improve performance and efficiency when users run agents or other applications on-device.
