NVIDIA, at the GTC Taipei event held alongside COMPUTEX 2026, Asia's largest ICT exhibition, has unveiled the 'RTX Spark', a new superchip aimed at ushering in the era of personal AI agents. This chip, developed in collaboration with Microsoft, seeks to redefine the role of Windows PCs in AI, content creation, and gaming.

The RTX Spark is built upon NVIDIA's three decades of accumulated innovation, integrating core technologies such as CUDA, RTX, DLSS, FP4, TensorRT, OptiX, Reflex, and G-SYNC. It promises all-day battery life for slim Windows laptops and exceptional power efficiency for desktop PCs.

"The PC is being reborn," declared Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO. "For the last 40 years, users have had to initiate apps, click, and type. But now, with RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, the PC will perform tasks at the user's request." The superchip features a Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and 5th-gen Tensor Cores supporting FP4 precision. This GPU connects to a high-performance 20-core Grace CPU via the NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect. MediaTek collaborated with NVIDIA on custom CPU designs, contributing to class-leading power efficiency, performance, and connectivity. To meet the processing demands of on-device agents, RTX Spark offers up to 1 petaflop of AI computing power and 128GB of unified memory.

NVIDIA and Microsoft are joining forces to facilitate the widespread adoption of personal agents, addressing the current limitations that have prevented agents from running securely and privately. Together, they are delivering a robust and secure Windows platform for on-device agents, underpinned by new Windows security primitives and the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime. The Windows primitives will provide the necessary identity, isolation, policy, and end-to-end security features for agent development and execution.

OpenShell will enable users to define the scope of an agent's tasks and intelligently route queries to local models based on privacy policies, or mask personal information in queries sent to cloud models. Leading agent developers, including Hermes Agent and the OpenClaw Foundation, are introducing new Windows apps with these security and privacy features. These apps will grant users access to powerful on-device agents capable of executing tasks within Windows applications, inferring cross-app workflows, generating images and video, coding plugins and apps, and performing semantic searches of local files.

The RTX Spark provides NVIDIA's full suite of AI and graphics technologies for creators, AI developers, and gamers. Users can leverage OptiX and DLSS to render massive 3D scenes up to 90GB, edit 12K 4:2:2 video with the Blackwell decoder, and run 120 billion-parameter large language models using a 1 million token context. Furthermore, gamers can enjoy AAA titles at over 100 frames per second in 1440p resolution with ray tracing, DLSS, and Reflex enabled.

The RTX Spark supports new RTX features such as DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and RTX Video, which enables 4x frame generation. DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction incorporates a 2nd-generation transformer model and will be implemented in Blender 5.3 and dozens of games. RTX Video will be applied to ComfyUI. Over 100 software providers, including Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI, and OTOY, along with game developers like Krafton, NetEase, Remedy Entertainment, Riot Games, and Xbox, are adopting the new RTX Spark platform. In partnership with Adobe, NVIDIA is redesigning Adobe Premiere and Photoshop for RTX Spark, expected to double the speed of AI, editing, color correction, and effects processing.

RTX Spark laptops will feature slim and light designs, measuring 14mm thin and weighing approximately 1.36kg, available in 14-inch to 16-inch sizes. They will boast precision-milled aluminium bodies and high color-accurate tandem OLED displays with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology. Smaller, power-efficient RTX Spark desktop models will also be released. Major hardware manufacturers such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Microsoft Surface are pursuing the development of RTX Spark-based products, with Acer and GIGABYTE models to follow.

RTX Spark laptops and small form-factor desktops are slated for release this autumn through major manufacturers.
