Nvidia is set to launch a new set of Arm-based silicon ‘superchips’, marking its first foray into personal computing processors.
The RTX Spark Superchip features up to 20 CPU cores, a 6,144 core Blackwell GPU and 128GB of memory. It is set to launch on flagship machines by companies including Dell, Microsoft and Lenovo to create what Nvidia called “the most beautiful RTX laptops ever and small, ultra-efficient desktops.”
The company claims that using its highest-spec chip, users could render a 90GB 3D scene, edit 12K resolution video or run highly graphically intensive games at 1440p resolution at over 100 frames per second on a laptop no more than 14mm thick.
Nvidia Chief executive Jensen Huang announced the launch of the processors at the Computex conference in Taipei on Monday and stated the company has reimagined the PC for the first time in 40 years.
The RTX Spark also features one petaflop of AI performance, which Nvidia claimed reinvents Windows PCs for the era of personal AI agents.
Huang said these chips would enable the creation of a personal AI computer. Nvidia claims PCs powered by its chips will create “a new personal computing paradigm where AI is the UX [user experience]”, meaning embedding AI agents more deeply into the day-to-day operation of the computer.
To enable this, Nvidia and Microsoft have deepened their partnership, building new security protocols directly into Windows to allow agents including OpenClaw to run securely from the operating system’s taskbar, the company said.
“We are strong supporters of deploying agents like OpenClaw securely into the Windows ecosystem,” said Vincent Koc, chief architect at the OpenClaw Foundation. “Running solutions like OpenShell and the Microsoft security primitives on RTX Spark will enable users to leverage a fully integrated stack for private, personal agents running on device.”
In addition, the chip will add “powerful AI features” in over 1,000 games and applications from providers including Blender, XBOX and Riot Games, the company said.
Creative suite provider Adobe It has worked with Nvidia to reengineer its flagship video and photo editing programmes, Premiere and Photoshop respectively, for the chip to build AI-native creative experiences into the software, according to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe’s chair and chief executive.
Nvidia has invested heavily in the AI boom, and benefitted accordingly, with shares of the company having grown by over 1,000 per cent over the last five years. However, the hegemony its GPUs have given it in the market is increasingly being challenged, not least by the European Union, which seeks to develop its own AI infrastructure without depending on US companies.
