NVIDIA Says RTX Spark Will Reinvent the PC: Here Are the Windows Laptops Coming This Fall

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang kicked off Computex 2026 in Taipei by unveiling RTX Spark, a new Arm-based chip that marks NVIDIA’s first real push into the consumer SoC market.

The big news is every version of NVIDIA’s architecture will now have a desktop, laptop and a workstation. Jensen proudly said on stage that “100% of the world’s PC industry has joined us to reinvent the PC. A new line. A new beginning,” making comparisons to how smartphones reinvented the phone (without mentioning the iPhone by name).

Built with MediaTek and Microsoft, RTX Spark is designed to power a new wave of thin-and-light Windows laptops coming this fall. Think of it as Windows’ Apple Silicon moment. The chip packs 1 petaflop of AI compute, up to 6,144 Blackwell RTX cores, 20 power-efficient Arm-based CPU cores and up to 128GB of unified memory into a package slim enough for 14-inch and 16-inch laptops.

The unified memory pool is a big deal. It means these slim machines can handle tasks that normally require a desktop, including 90GB 3D scenes, 12K video editing and native 4K AI video generation. On the gaming side, NVIDIA says RTX Spark can run Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at 1440p with ray tracing active at over 100 FPS. DLSS, Reflex, G-SYNC and ray tracing all come along for the ride natively on Arm for the first time.

Essentially, these laptops are thin enough to fit in a backpack but can edit 12K video, run massive AI models locally and play the latest games at high settings without breaking a sweat.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, “Our goal is to deliver unmetered intelligence to every home and every desk with Windows. NVIDIA RTX Spark marks a real breakthrough toward that vision. Looking forward to sharing more with Jensen, who will be joining us live from Taiwan, at Build this week!”.

Six PC makers are launching RTX Spark laptops this fall:

• Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is Microsoft’s own machine, built for creative pros who need sustained performance for rendering, compiling and local AI work.
• ASUS ProArt P16 and P14 come in 16-inch and 14-inch sizes with Lumina Pro OLED displays in Nano Black and Neo White.
• Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition gets a Tandem OLED display with True Black HDR 600, a built-in SD card reader and HDMI port, aimed squarely at video editors.
• HP OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 target creators, gamers and AI developers.
• Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n focuses on portability and all-day battery life with NVIDIA’s newest chip inside.
• MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+ is a 2-in-1 with a 16-inch UHD+ Tandem OLED display and a massive 99.9Wh battery for people who need flexibility.

On the software side, major creative apps are already native on Arm including Photoshop, Premiere, Blender, DaVinci Resolve and CapCut. League of Legends, VALORANT and PUBG: Battlegrounds are all coming to the platform. AI dev tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor run natively too.

All RTX Spark laptops join Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC category. No pricing yet but availability starts this fall.
