Nvidia introduced a new chip that combines a microprocessor and graphics processor for Windows laptops and desktops. The RTX Spark Superchip will appear in machines from multiple manufacturers this fall.
The Japan TimesNvidia unveiled the RTX Spark Superchip on Monday for Windows laptops and desktops, marking the company’s first fully integrated consumer chip. The product combines a microprocessor and graphics chip and will run Microsoft’s Windows for Arm operating system. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang presented the chip during his keynote at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan.
He also spoke at the Nvidia GTC conference held on the sidelines of Computex 2026. The RTX Spark Superchip is a cut-down version of the chips Nvidia uses in its AI supercomputers. It is designed to run personal AI agents, popular games, and productivity software such as Adobe’s Photoshop.
Computers powered by the chip will be sold by ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI. Initial models will come from Dell and Lenovo and will reach stores this fall. The laptops will offer up to 128 GB of memory and all-day battery life, according to Nvidia senior director of product management Mark Aevermann.
The GPU performance will be comparable to Nvidia’s current mid-range RTX 5070 mobile graphics processor, while the CPU is described as competitive with other Windows PC processors. Huang showed RTX Spark laptops running the video games 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6 on stage. He also displayed a Mac Mini-sized desktop powered by the same chip.
The RTX Spark uses Nvidia’s own custom-made CPU developed in collaboration with Taiwan’s MediaTek. A senior company official told the Wall Street Journal that the new computers will be priced at the premium end of the market. Huang said Nvidia and Microsoft are collaborating to reinvent the PC.
In his keynote he stated: “Today, when you think about your phone, the one thing you don't do with it is make phone calls. You do just about everything else. So that phone means something very different to you, than a phone of the past.
He added: “I could totally imagine that some day there’s actually an AI supercomputer in your house,” comparing future PCs to everyday appliances such as lawnmowers and dishwashers. Nvidia has produced consumer laptop and desktop GPUs for decades, but those systems previously required Intel or AMD central processors.
The RTX Spark is the company’s first consumer product to integrate its own CPU and GPU on a single chip.
