NVIDIA Redefines the PC for the First Time in 40 Years, Launches RTX Spark in Collaboration with Microsoft and MediaTek

According to Analytix Beating monitoring, Jensen Huang officially unveiled the RTX Spark series SoC chip during his keynote at GTC Taipei 2026, announcing NVIDIA's collaboration with Microsoft to “redefine personal computing for the first time in 40 years.” He referred to the RTX Spark as “Everything starts with a Spark,” representing the culmination of NVIDIA's 33 years of technical advancement condensed into a single chip.

The RTX Spark is built on TSMC's 3nm process and features a dual chiplet design: a CPU designed by MediaTek (the top-tier N1X version consists of a 20-core Arm architecture, with 10 Cortex-X925 performance cores and 10 Cortex-A725 efficiency cores) paired with a Blackwell architecture RTX GPU (with 6144 CUDA cores in the high-end configuration, delivering 1 PFLOP of AI performance). The system is equipped with 128GB of unified memory (LPDDR5X), with the CPU and GPU sharing a memory pool. In terms of performance, it is benchmarked against a desktop-class RTX 5070 discrete GPU.

Jensen Huang likened this transformation to the historic moment when Windows 95 brought PCs into homes worldwide. He explained that the new PC's operating system = traditional OS + large language models (LLMs), where LLM is the modern-day DirectX, understanding cues, computer vision, capable of video and audio generation; traditional applications will be replaced by the Agent runtime. Each PC will have its own autonomous Agent: capable of conversing with you, reading files for you, assisting in research, and operating securely locally or in the cloud.

He revealed that tomorrow, he will join Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to showcase more details. The first wave of laptops and mini PCs featuring the RTX Spark is expected to launch in fall 2026, with partners such as Dell, ASUS, Lenovo, and Microsoft.
