NVIDIA unveiled the RTX Spark superchip at GTC Taipei during COMPUTEX 2026, marking the most ambitious attempt yet to transform the personal computer from a passive tool into an active AI-powered collaborator. Developed in partnership with Microsoft and MediaTek, RTX Spark represents 30 years of NVIDIA innovation condensed into a single chip purpose-built for AI agents, creative workloads, and gaming.
The RTX Spark superchip features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU developed in collaboration with MediaTek. The chip supports up to 128GB of unified memory and delivers 1 petaflop of AI performance, enabling users to run 120-billion-parameter large language models with up to 1 million tokens of context entirely on device.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO, declared that the PC is being reinvented. He noted that for forty years, users launched apps with clicks and typing, but with RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, users can simply ask and the PC does the work. Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella added that their goal is to deliver unmetered intelligence to every home and every desk with Windows, calling RTX Spark a real breakthrough toward that vision.
The platform's capabilities extend far beyond AI inference. RTX Spark can render 90GB-plus 3D scenes, edit 12K 4:2:2 video, generate 4K AI videos, and play AAA games at 1440p with over 100 frames per second. Adobe is rearchitecting both Photoshop and Premiere for RTX Spark, delivering 2x faster AI and graphics performance with a new video pipeline leveraging unified memory and the Blackwell GPU. Adobe Chair and CEO Shantanu Narayen stated that the best creative work in the world happens in Adobe tools and together they are building AI-native experiences for RTX Spark.
Security is central to the RTX Spark vision. NVIDIA and Microsoft developed new Windows security primitives providing identity, containment, policy, and end-to-end security for on-device agents. NVIDIA OpenShell, an open-source secure runtime, enables agents to operate within isolated sandboxes with system-level policy enforcement that prevents agents from overriding security measures. Users maintain control over query routing and privacy preferences, with personal information masking available for any queries sent to cloud models.
RTX Spark laptops measure as slim as 14 millimeters and weigh up to three pounds, featuring precision-machined aluminum construction, color-accurate tandem OLED displays with G-SYNC technology, and all-day battery life. Compact desktop options are also available. Hardware partners building RTX Spark systems for fall 2026 availability include ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI, with Acer and GIGABYTE models to follow. Over 100 Windows software providers are supporting the platform, including Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI, OTOY, and game developers including KRAFTON, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games, and XBOX.
New RTX capabilities announced alongside the chip include DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction with second-generation transformer models, coming to Blender 5.3 and games, and RTX Video with 4x Frame Generation coming to ComfyUI. Over 1,000 games and applications already support RTX technology.
