NVIDIA and Microsoft introduced NVIDIA RTX Spark, a superchip for a new class of Windows laptops and compact desktops built for on-device AI agents, at NVIDIA GTC Taipei on May 31, 2026 (NVIDIA; Microsoft). Per NVIDIA, RTX Spark pairs a Blackwell RTX GPU (6,144 CUDA cores, fifth-generation Tensor Cores) with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace Arm CPU co-designed with MediaTek, linked by NVLink-C2C, plus up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of AI compute at FP4 precision. NVIDIA says the platform can run 120-billion-parameter models with up to 1 million tokens of context locally, and adds new Windows security primitives and the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime for private agents. Adobe is rearchitecting Photoshop and Premiere for it. ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI will ship RTX Spark laptops and desktops this fall, with Acer and GIGABYTE to follow (NVIDIA; WSJ; Tom’s Hardware).
