Nvidia used the Computex trade show in Taipei to unveil RTX Spark, a new AI-focused PC processor that the company describes as a superchip capable of delivering up to one petaflop of performance.

The chip is designed to run AI agents locally and securely on Windows PCs through protected sandbox environments developed in collaboration with Microsoft.

Major PC manufacturers, including Microsoft Surface, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, and MSI, are expected to release RTX Spark-powered systems later this year, with Acer and Gigabyte joining afterward.

According to Nvidia, the new platform combines CPU, GPU, memory, and CUDA software technologies to enable local execution of large language models and advanced AI workloads.The company also claims that more than 100 software vendors, including Adobe, Blender, ComfyUI, Riot Games, and Xbox, are supporting the platform.

Nvidia is positioning RTX Spark not only for AI content creators but also for gamers, promising enhanced AI capabilities, improved graphics quality, and compatibility with over 1,000 games and applications.

CEO Jensen Huang presented a broader vision in which AI agents become a major computing paradigm, reducing the need for traditional application-based workflows.Nvidia believes this shift could create a massive new CPU market worth approximately $200 billion.

Huang previously highlighted the company's server-focused Vera CPU and suggested that billions of AI agents in the future will require large numbers of processors.

The initiative revives Nvidia's ambitions in Windows-on-ARM computing, an area where earlier attempts such as Microsoft's Surface RT struggled.However, Nvidia argues that RTX Spark represents a significantly more powerful approach.

Pricing and detailed specifications have not yet been fully disclosed, but Microsoft has already promoted its upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra as its most powerful Surface device to date.
