The chip will power high-end laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, MSI, and a new Microsoft Surface Ultra, positioning it as a direct competitor to Apple's M-series chips for gaming and creative tasks. The RTX Spark devices are planned for late 2026, with pricing yet to be announced.", "body_md": "It was an open secret that NVIDIA was working on an ARM-based system-on-a-chip for laptops and desktops, and today at Computex 2026 the company unveiled what it’s been working on. It’s surely a beast, and unsurprisingly, it’s lathered in “AI” buzzwords. At full strength, this chip offers up to 20 Arm CPU cores, a Blackwell GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 300 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That powerful CPU and GPU, connected over NVLink C2C, and the large memory pool give AI agents and 120-billion-parameter models plenty of power and space for long-running tasks with context lengths stretching to a million tokens, according to Nvidia. RTX Spark will power high-end laptops from partners including Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, and MSI — and notably, a new Surface Ultra laptop from Microsoft. Nvidia says it’s worked with those partners to create “the most extraordinary laptops ever built,” with tandem OLED G-Sync displays, “all-day” battery life, premium aluminum chassis with large glass touchpads. ↫ Jeffrey Kampman at Tom’s Hardware I couldn’t care less about the “AI” nonsense, but the chip itself seems like an absolute monster for laptops and mini PCs. With that much power and a solid NVIDIA GPU, these are also great for gaming and creative tasks, making them feel like the first true competition in the PC space to Apple’s M series of chips. They’re planned for late 2026, and tellingly, there’s no pricing information just yet.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs", "canonical_source": "https://www.osnews.com/story/145177/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs/", "published_at": "2026-06-01 13:33:44+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-02 23:14:36.174062+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-chips", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["NVIDIA", "RTX Spark", "Dell", "HP", "Lenovo", "Asus", "MSI", "Microsoft"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-unveils-rtx-spark-chip-for-laptops-and-desktop-pcs.jsonld"}}
