Nvidia enters PC market with RTX Spark artificial intelligence chips featuring Blackwell GPU, 128GB unified memory, 20-core Grace CPU, 1 petaflop AI performance, partnering with MediaTek & Microsoft for Windows PCs with personal AI agents in slim laptops and desktops launching 2026.
Nvidia enters PC market with RTX Spark artificial intelligence chips, marking a historic shift from selling graphics cards to creating complete personal AI computers that redefine Windows PCs for the age of personal AI agents.
Announced at Computex 2026 in Taipei, the RTX Spark Superchip represents Nvidia’s most ambitious move yet, fusing the company’s AI platform with RTX graphics in a single chip that delivers 1 petaflop of AI performance—40x more powerful than typical AI PCs—while maintaining the slimmest laptop form factors ever.
What is RTX Spark?
RTX Spark is a revolutionary superchip that combines:
- NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPUÂ with 6,144 CUDA cores
- Custom 20-core Grace CPUÂ (built in partnership with MediaTek)
- Up to 128GB unified memory
- NVLink fusion connecting CPU and GPU
- 5th-gen Tensor Cores with FP4 precision
This isn’t just a graphics card upgrade—it’s Nvidia’s entire 33 years of AI and graphics expertise distilled into one chip designed to power the next generation of Windows PCs built for personal AI agents.
RTX Spark Specifications
Key Features
1. Personal AI Agents
RTX Spark is specifically designed to build and run autonomous AI agents securely and locally with up to 200 billion parameters. Unlike cloud-based AI, RTX Spark runs powerful AI agents entirely on your device without internet dependency.
2. Exponential AI Performance
With 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance, RTX Spark delivers 40x more AI compute than standard AI PCs, enabling:
- Advanced AI development and model training
- Real-time AI inference for personal agents
- AI-augmented applications and solutions
- Local AI model validation and testing
3. Full RTX Gaming
RTX Spark isn’t just for AI—it’s also a world-class gaming chip featuring:
- Ray-traced worlds with full hardware ray tracing
- Complete DLSS suite (DLSS 3.5+)
- NVIDIA Reflex for ultra-low latency
- G-SYNCÂ support
- World-leading gaming technology
4. Portability Meets Power
The RTX Spark is the most power-efficient RTX chip ever made, engineered for:
- Slimmest, most beautiful RTX laptops ever created
- Small, ultra-efficient desktops for 24/7 AI agent operation
- Ultra-portable form factors you’ll “forget you’re carrying”
Strategic Partnerships
NVIDIA + MediaTek
The RTX Spark’s custom 20-core CPU was built through a partnership with MediaTek, combining:
- MediaTek’s expertise in high-performance CPUs, advanced connectivity, and power efficiency
- Nvidia’s full-stack AI platform and RTX technologies
This collaboration leverages MediaTek’s foundational mobile computing expertise for PC applications.
NVIDIA + Microsoft
In close collaboration with Microsoft, RTX Spark powers a Windows platform optimized for AI agents, featuring:
- Modified Windows OSÂ supporting NVIDIA OpenShell
- Agent-first Windows architecture
- Native AI agent integration into the operating system
- Windows PCs reinvented for the age of personal AI
RTX Spark vs. DGX Spark
RTX Spark is often compared to NVIDIA DGX Spark, but they serve different markets:
RTX Spark is essentially DGX Spark’s “little sister”—the same chip specs but optimized for portability and consumer use with lower power draw.
